FL4: Consent was first limited, then open ended by consent form

The police sought consent to search for marijuana plants, and that was the extent of defendant’s consent. After the first part of the search when the consent form was presented, the consent form was not limited to marijuana plants, and child porn found during the search was admissible. Verges v. State, 13 So. 3d 525 (Fla. App. 4 DCA 2009), rehearing denied 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 12650 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 4th Dist., Aug. 20, 2009).*

Record supported finding that the consent was consensual, but the case was remanded to determine whether the trial court applied the correct legal standard. State v. Gentry, 19 So. 3d 389 (Fla. App. 2d DCA 2009).*

Defendant’s objection to admission of evidence seized from his car was not specific enough to identify what was admitted. Also, the continuing objection for trial was not specific enough to preserve the issue for appeal. State v. Martin, 291 S.W.3d 269 (Mo. App. 2009).*

The record supports the trial court’s finding that defendant invited the officer in the house to see what defendant had been drinking in the refrigerator and trash can. State v. Pemberton, 2009 Ohio 3177, 2009 Ohio App. LEXIS 2780 (11th Dist. June 30, 2009).*
