Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Florida
False Police Report Used To Convict
Due to the situation, possible consequences, and poor legal representation I had to plea to a bogus charge. What can I do now that I found out the plaintif filed two false police reports. The Gainesville D.A. made the plaintif write another report after they found inconclusive eviedence
in the first police report. I read them both in an attorneys office. The plaintif was represented by the state of Florida. The Judge was not aware of crucial cover-up attempts and false records made by the state attorney, Gainesville police and D.A.

Re: False Police Report Used To Convict
No one made you plead guilty to a bogus charge. It was a choice you made. Now, it might have been a bad choice based on the information you had, but that's a different thing altogether. If you can prove what happened, then file a motion to set aside your plea.
Often judges will not do it, but you should at least try. You have to preserve the issue for appeal, so ask to set aside your plea before the sentencing report, if possible. Do it in writing and get it on the record as to why you want to set aside the plea (complete with proofs). If you've already been sentenced, you need to do a bit more, so consult a local attorney.

You need to allege prosecutorial misconduct in an appropriate pleading in an appropriate forum.
