We initially accepted jurisdiction to review Blocker v. State, 968 So.2d 686 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007), review granted, 973 So.2d 1119 (Fla. 2007) (table), a decision in which the Second District Court of Appeal certified questions to be of great public importance. See 968 So.2d at 688-89, 694; art. V, § 3(b)( 4), Fla. Const. After further, full consideration, we have determined that we should exercise our discretion and discharge jurisdiction.
