The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 1993 that individuals couldn't be charged in cases where the sheriff's office manufactured crack cocaine for undercover operations.
Ed Hoeg noted, 'They were arresting people not for selling, but for purchasing,' emphasizing the unfair targeting of addicts during the crack epidemic.
State Attorney Harold F. Pryor stated, 'It is never too late to do the right thing,' highlighting the intention to vacate convictions tied to these operations.
The sheriff's office conducted operations because they lacked seized drugs, enabling a practice that ultimately victimized individuals struggling with addiction.
