During a past life as an 80’s-90’s era criminal defense lawyer in Miami, I wrote many appellate briefs. The first time I was assigned a murder case, I was overwhelmed with the enormity of the task. “What are you worried about?” a Lauderdale lawwyer said, “a murder is just an agg battery with one less witness.”
In 1995 a Miami man named Donald Porter was murdered by four men looking for money and drugs. One of them, Jabbar Woods, confessed to the crime and was sentenced to life in prison.
Appellate briefs tend to be dry and must fulfill a list of formal requirements. This is the text of the actual brief that was filed on appeal in the case of Florida v. Woods. The cover is new and would be rejected.
