Defense Seeks to Block Evidence

Attorneys for both defendants charged in a Port Huron murder case are asking a judge to keep key evidence away from jurors. Sayon Florence and Dazman Drake face first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Vincent Buckles, killed at his home last year. New court filings seek to block evidence including a pearl found on a boot, gun and ballistics testing, gas station video, and jail phone calls, arguing it’s prejudicial or unreliable. A judge hears arguments Aug. 31st, with Florence’s trial set for next month.
