  1. State v. Marks

    833 So. 2d 249 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002)   Cited 1 times

    See Clark v. State, 790 So.2d 1030, 1032 (Fla. 2001) (stating that "the term `any defendant' in the Act is `all-inclusive [and] require[es] no statutory interpretation.'") (quoting Young v. State, 719 So.2d 1010, 1011 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) (citing Auto Owners Ins. Co. v. Conquest, 658 So.2d 928, 929 (Fla. 1995))). Under these rules of construction, "any prosecution for perjury" includes prosecutions for perjury by way of the "principals" statute, section 777.011. Therefore, Drinks's recantation precludes the perjury charges in this case.
