Harris v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided November 30, 2007No. 5D07-1123Published

1Opinion of the CourtThompson, J.

Desmond Harris appeals his revocation of probation and sentence to the Department of Corrections. The evidence presented to the court was a lab test that indicated Harris tested positive for THC.1 When the State proffered the lab test to the trial court, the defense attorney objected, citing Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 124 S.Ct. 1354, 158 L.Ed.2d 177 (2004). The attorney argued that the lab report was hearsay and testimonial in nature and its admission violated Harris’ *569Sixth Amendment right of confrontation. We affirm.
