Post: FL: conflicting statements by law enforcement

Posted by carl wood on 7/27/08

my son was arrested for possesion of lortab tried and sent
to prison. After going over the evidence I found in the
arrest afadavit or incident report that the officer said
he found pill in a enpty cigarette pack during a pat down
at the jail. But during the trial he said the pills were
found in a envelope along with a pack of cigarettes and
that he sealed the pack and envelope with evidence tape
and signed his name on the tape.Another officer said he
did the search and said nothing about finding pills, only
that all the idems were put in a paper bag and sent to
jail with my son. A jail intake person said at the trial
that she found the pills in the enpty cigarette pack at
the jail when she was going through the bag. With all the
conflicting testimony is there anything that can be done
about this We have already appealed but this takes about
two years?
