Willoughby v. State
Docket: No. 85-2645
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; July 23, 1986; Florida; State Appellate Court
The appeal follows the defendant's sentencing, with the trial court denying his motion to suppress evidence. The appellate court finds no error in the trial court’s ruling and affirms it, citing Shapiro v. State, 390 So.2d 344 (Fla. 1980). The court concludes that the defendant lacks standing to raise a constitutional claim regarding the state attorney’s application of Section 893.135(3) of the Florida Statutes (1985), which he argues denied him equal protection. The defendant acknowledged his inability to provide substantial assistance, referencing Sandstrom v. Leader, 370 So.2d 3, 4 (Fla. 1979) and State v. Stella, 454 So.2d 780 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984) for support. Judges ANSTEAD, GLICKSTEIN, and STONE concur with the decision.
