The original information alleged that the defendant committed a battery on February 7, 2020, in Tampa during a Super Bowl tailgating party. However, during trial, the State recognized an error in the date and sought to amend the information to reflect the correct date of the alleged offense as February 7, 2021. The defendant opposed the amendment, asserting that the defense would be prejudiced because it had prepared for trial based on the incorrect date. The trial court denied the State&#8217;s request to amend and, instead, granted the defendant\u2019s oral motion to dismiss. A written order of dismissal was subsequently entered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpetersburgcriminalattorney.net\/blog\/florida-court-discusses-correcting-incorrect-dates-on-criminal-information\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Florida Court Discusses Correcting Incorrect Dates on Criminal Information\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Florida, the State will often charge a person with a crime via an information.
