McCollum faults Sansom in court, presses case
A motion motion filed today with the First District Court of Appeal, lays out several technical arguments why the appeal is justified and asks the appellate court to deny a motion from Sansom and co-defendant Jay Odom to dismiss the appeal. But the motion only addresses legal questions and does not delve into the specifics of the allegations against Sansom. That would come later, if the appeals court tosses Sansom's motion to dismiss.
Sansom argued that because Judge Terry Lewis dismissed only part of the charges, it remains an open issue requiring "additional judicial labor in the lower court." But the McCollum motion cites Florida law and rule of criminal procedure stating the state may appeal "an order dismissing an indictment or information or any count thereof."
