Florida Supreme Court Limits Fellow Officer Rule

Florida Supreme Court has promulgated a new rule of refraining fellow officer to testify hearsay in the court. The court emphasizes the importance of firsthand information from a police officer to be counted as valid evidence in testifying in the court. This is in accordance to Officer Tracy versus Michelle Bowers DUI case. Where, Bowers argued the initial stop as unlawful since Tracy was not the actual deputy-on-duty at the time of Bower's arrest. The court sided Bower's and considered Tracy's testimony as hearsay.

Fellow officer rule does not allow police to introduce hearsay testimony during a traffic stop, Florida Supreme Court ruled.

William Dillon compensation bill passes Florida House

William Dillon compensation bill for wrongful imprisonment passes Florida House. The bill awards Dillon to receive $1.35 for the years he spent in prison. But due to Dillon DUI conviction prior to the murder charges, the state preclude him from getting the said compensation. It is sad to realize that he can't get the award because of the prior charges. His party is working another bill to recompense the provision of the previous bill. But it was failed to pass.

William Dillon, the Brevard County man wrongfully imprisoned for almost three decades for murder, is another step closer to being compensated.

Drive Sober or Don’t Drive at All

"Drive Sober or Don't Drive at All" -- Lawmakers send this cautious message to drunk drivers all over Florida to prevent further repetition of the same offense. Lawmakers stated that those people who have been charged with DUI will be allowed to drive again, unless they are sober. They also ordered to install interlock in the offenders' car and blow the interlock before they can drive when drunk.

Drive Sober or Don’t Drive at all is the message state lawmakers may soon send to those caught drinking and driving. Legislation receiving bi-partisan support would require future DUI offenders to prove they are sober before being allowed to drive again.
