State v. McCord
State v. McCord
Opinion of the Court
Petitioner, the State of Florida, challenges by petition for writ of certiorari filed in this court a trial court order denying its motion to take blood, hair and saliva samples from respondent, Foskie McCord, in a pending criminal prosecution. Peti
As for the former order, we summarily deny certiorari based on our decision in State v. Rutherford, 707 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), rev. den., 718 So.2d 171 (Fla. 1998). While the second district apparently agrees with our decision in Rutherford, see State v. Johnson, 751 So.2d 183 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), rev. granted, 767 So.2d 461 (Fla. 2000), we certify conflict with the third and fifth district courts of appeal, particularly in State v. Fahner, 794 So.2d 712 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001); State v. Manney, 723 So.2d 928 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999).
Further, we reject petitioner’s claim that the evidence in dispute here would have been inevitably discovered, as this claim was not demonstrated in the trial court.
Concurring Opinion
concurring specially.
While the law in this district is controlled by the en banc majority’s decision in Rutherford, I still hold to the views I expressed in my dissent in that case. In particular, I believe that the State should be permitted to have a second subpoena issued, once the procedural and substantive requirements of section 315.3025(4)(d), Fla. Stat., are met. See Hunter v. State, 639 So.2d 72 (Fla. 5th DCA), rev. denied, 649 So.2d 233 (Fla. 1994).
