A Notice of Intent to Dispose of or Destroy Exhibits, or a Petition to Dispose of Unclaimed Evidence, will be mailed to you or your attorney of record. You will have until the date listed in the notice or petition to respond with any objections to the destruction or disposal of the evidence referenced.
For non-criminal proceedings, the exhibits will, upon request, be delivered to any party or attorney of record calling for them before the date listed on the notice, with preference given to the party or attorney of record who introduced them into evidence or had them marked for identification.
For criminal proceedings, any evidence that was seized by a law enforcement agency in connection with its investigation, and for which it is entitled to by Florida Law, will be returned to the agency if it calls for the evidence before the date stated in the letter.
Florida law governs the disposition of weapons or firearms and the destruction of controlled substances or chemicals.
