Reasonably Safir: Florida Criminal & Injury Caselaw

著者： Rory Safir
無料で聴く

Every week Florida's appellate courts hand down decisions that change how your next case goes, and most of them slip by while you're in court. Reasonably Safir catches them.

Host Rory Safir is a Florida criminal defense and injury trial lawyer, and one of only six attorneys in the state designated a Forensic Lawyer-Scientist by the American Chemical Society's Chemistry and the Law Division. Each week he walks the newest rulings from the Florida Supreme Court and all six District Courts of Appeal, calls out the wins you can put to work in a pending file that same week, and flags the losses that could reach your open cases and reshape your theory.

No ivory tower. Plain language, real doctrine, and takeaways you can carry into your next hearing, whether you're fighting a search or proving a claim.

Built for criminal defense lawyers, plaintiffs attorneys, and anyone whose job is representing a real person against an institution. The caselaw roundup lands every Friday. Science deep dives and stories from the road land in between, whenever there's one worth your time.

Safir Injury and Criminal Defense Law welcomes referrals and co-counsel arrangements from fellow attorneys.

  • The Paperwork Week: Florida Caselaw, Week of August 14, 2026

    The Paperwork Week: Florida Caselaw, Week of August 14, 2026
    2026/08/15

    This week's Florida District Court of Appeal decisions, covered case by case: a conviction with no valid charging document behind it, a community control revocation half-built on hearsay, a warrant too broken for good faith and another just broken enough to survive, speed that is not enough except when it is, and one pro se litigant told enough is enough. Plus a deep dive: the good faith exception, and how one court drew both of its lines in one day.

    PRACTICE AREAS THIS WEEK: all criminal. Injury lawyers, light week; the good faith deep dive is still worth your commute.

    CHAPTERS
    0:00 The paperwork week
    0:57 Herrera Gutierrez: convicted, with no charge ever filed
    2:00 Rogers: hearsay, and the revocation remand
    3:47 State v. Barnes: the warrant good faith could not save
    5:24 Serena: practical accuracy, not technical nicety
    6:35 Audinot Lugo: speed alone, except when it is
    8:08 Taylor, and the week's PCAs
    9:20 Deep dive: the good faith exception, both ends of it
    14:28 The opinions, free, by email
