State v. Johnson
629 So. 2d 860; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 9977; 1993 WL 390415
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
We reverse but certify the following question as one of great public importance:
Whether the manufacture of crack cocaine by law enforcement officials for use in a reverse-sting operation constitutes governmental misconduct which violates the due process clause of the Florida Constitution, where the charge is solicitation to purchase, i.e. whether Metcalf v. State, 614 So.2d 548 (Fla. 4th DCA 1993), is correct?
Reversed.
