Nathaniel Charles Jones v. State of Florida

No.03-1363

Miami-Dade County


Jones sought this Court's review of a district court decision overturning the trial court's decision to exclude from trial a police officer's identification of Jones from a video taped lineup. This case asks the Florida Supreme Court to decide whether the right to counsel guaranteed by Florida's Constitution requires a defendant's attorney to be present when the prosecution shows a video taped lineup to a witness for identification purposes.
