court granted the State permission to amend the condemnation
petition.
On December 16, 1987, the State adopted an amended
resolution, authorizing condemnation proceedings against the
portion of the DeSellum property omitted from the condemnation
petition. On January 5, 1988, the State filed an amended
condemnation petition; the amended petition included the 642
square feet of the DeSellum property omitted from the original
petition. In addition, on January 5, 1988, the State deposited
$13,996 with the clerk of the circuit court, which was the
State's estimated fair value for the additional 642 square feet
of the DeSellum property.
In a letter to petitioner's attorney, R. Edwin Brown
(petitioner's attorney), dated March 18, 1988, the State, through
Assistant Attorney General Frank W. Wilson (AAG), offered to
settle the condemnation case. More specifically, the State
offered $54,921 for the 10,599 square feet condemned in fee
simple and $5,231 for the 2,325 square feet taken in temporary
easement, or $60,152 in total. In addition, the State offered
prejudgment interest of 10 percent for 7-1/2 years on the excess
of $60,152 over $28,400, the latter figure representing the
amount deposited in 1980. The prejudgment interest on this
excess amount, or $31,752, amounted to $23,814. In addition, the
State offered $3,500 in "additional compromise". Thus, the
