Opinion
The State of Florida seeks certiorari review of a non-final order which granted a motion by a criminal defendant to disclose the grand jury testimony of a witness. Grand jury testimony ordinarily is kept secret, § 905.24, Fla. Stat. (2014), but exceptions apply. See § 905.27, Fla. Stat. (2014). The State argued that defendant had not asserted a sufficient predicate for disclosure. Alternatively, if the trial court found a sufficient predicate under section 905.27, the State argued that the trial court should examine the testimony in camera to determine its materiality. See James v. Witte, 480 So.2d 253, 255 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985); Jackman v. State, 140 *253 So.2d 627, 629 (Fla. 3d DCA 1962); see also Minton v. State, 113 So.2d 361, 367 (Fla. 1959). The trial court ordered disclosure without conducting an in camera inspection. We grant the petition, in part, to the extent that we direct the trial court to hold an in camera inspection.
Granted in Part.
