In re Forfeiture of $7,775.78 U.S. Currency
477 So. 2d 670, 10 Fla. L. Weekly 2485, 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 16576
District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided November 6, 1985·No. No. 85-707·Published·Cited by 2 cases
Opinion
We reverse the final order of forfeiture of $7,560 in currency because it was based on impermissible hearsay. See Doersam v. Brescher, 468 So.2d 427 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985). Absent the hearsay testimony, there was no competent evidence before the trial court establishing a nexus between the currency and the commission of a crime. See Williams v. Miller, 433 So.2d 33 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983).
REVERSED.
