Supreme Court of Florida

State v. Cogswell

March 10, 1988521 So. 2d 1081

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida held that Florida's felony bookmaking statute, section 849.25, does not violate the Due Process or Equal Protection Clauses despite overlapping with the misdemeanor statute 849.14, and reversed the lower court's declaration of unconstitutionality, remanding for trial under the felony statute.
