2/10/16 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments – State v. Christopher Markus, SC15-801

Mr. Markus was convicted of possession of a firearm by a felon. He appealed, arguing the officers who arrested him had obtained the evidence after entering his garage without a warrant, in violation of his constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The First District Court of Appeal agreed and reversed his conviction. The state asked this Court to review the case, arguing it conflicted with decisions by another District Court of Appeal and with rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court.
