State of Florida v. Eusebio Hernandez
Case Number(s):
SC04-1331

Transcript:

Summary:

Hernandez allegedly hired another man to kill his ex-wife and her boyfriend. After the codefendant was apprehended, the police and the codefendant made a recorded phone call to Hernandez in which they tried to get Hernandez to incriminate himself. The trial court suppressed this recorded phone call, and the Third District affirmed. The issues presented before this Court are whether the Third District erred in finding that such an order was not appealable under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(c)(1)(B) and whether the admission of this recorded phone call would violate the Confrontation Clause.
