Florida Reinstates Conviction in Drug Dog Case

Following Supreme Court ruling

|

The Florida Supreme Court is reinstating a conviction against a Panhandle man who had challenged the use of a drug-sniffing police dog in his case.

The high court was forced to readdress the case of Clayton Harris. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in February police do not have to extensively document the work of drug-sniffing dogs to be able to use the results.
