- Section 921.16, Florida Statutes, provides guidance on when sentences are to be concurrent and when consecutive. And generally, convictions arising out of the same incident are to be run concurrent unless the judge specifically orders that they be run consecutive,
- The motion for protective order is an enigma to me. But what I suspect is that there is some incriminating audio floating around that the State does not want released because it would hurt the trial somehow. Reading between the lines, it appears the audio would be incriminating to the defense team. However, under Florida law it is illegal to use secretly recorded audio in any case - as well as illegal to record it. So I think the State is trying to get a pretrial ruling to determine whether they have to release the inflammatory audio notwithstanding that it would be inadmissible in any proceeding.

Mr. Hornsby, would the same hold true if the FBI was behind recorded audio? I recall the story of Baby Sabrina who went missing from Florida many years ago and the Feds were allowed to admit their secret recordings of the parents.
