View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in dismissing conspiracy to traffic in cocaine charge against defendant as trial court impermissibly weighed the evidence instead of reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State.

View this case - free  

Overview: 42 U.S.C.S. § 290dd-2 did not bar the State from using a probationer's treatment records at her probation violation hearing, as she signed release forms concerning records of her treatment (which she received as condition of probation), and a probation revocation proceeding was not equivalent to a criminal trial.

Steil v. State, No. 4D06-3296, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT, February 20, 2008, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a police officer testified that he did not have his lights and sirens on while chasing defendant, there was insufficient evidence of high speed or wanton disregard to support defendant's conviction of aggravated fleeing under § 316.1935(3), Fla. Stat. (2005).

View this case - free

Watson v. State, No. 4D07-1555, COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA, FOURTH DISTRICT, February 20, 2008, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: As § 776.051(1), Fla. Stat., regarding the use of force in resisting an arrest, did not apply where the original stop of an inmate was illegal, the inmate's convictions for battery on a law enforcement officer had to be vacated. However, as the verdict supported it, the inmate would be adjudicated guilty of misdemeanor battery.
