District Court of Appeal of Florida

A conviction and sentence for possession of cannabis with intent to sell or deliver is reversed pursuant to a claim of erroneous denial of a suppression motion where the warrantless search at issue was unlawful because the state failed to prove that there was an emergency which necessitated the warrantless entry into defendant's home in connection with a report of child abuse.
