Petition for Writ of Prohibition—Original Jurisdiction.
February 25, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Petitioner, Shanta Freeman, files a petition for writ of
prohibition after the trial court denied her motion for immunity.
Pursuant to our supreme court’s recent decision in Love v. State,
44 Fla. L. Weekly S293 (Fla. Dec. 19, 2019), which determined that
section 776.032(4) applies to those immunity hearings, including
in pending cases, that take place on or after the statute’s effective
date—we grant the writ of prohibition and remand for a new
immunity hearing.
LEWIS, OSTERHAUS, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
