Rafael Yee v. State
Case Number(s):
SC15-1925

Summary:

Mr. Yee was arrested on drug charges after police searched his house. He argued the search violated his constitutional rights because it was conducted without a warrant. The trial court agreed, suppressing the state’s evidence against Mr. Yee. The Third District Court of Appeal overturned the trial court, ruling the fact that a window in Mr. Yee’s house was broken justified the police search. Mr. Yee asked this Court to review, arguing the decision of the 3rd DCA conflicted with decisions by the Second District Court of Appeal.
