Description
The primary question presented by defendants' appeal is whether certain items, including letters addressed to each defendant and photographs of the defendants, found in a bedroom on the premises at 212-K Maplehurst Road in Jacksonville were lawfully seized during a search pursuant to a search warrant specifying the above-mentioned address. The search warrant described heroin as the only item to be seized.1 The items were seized in order to provide evidence of the identity of the persons occupying the premises where the heroin was found. The evidence tends to indicate that the defendants exclusively occupied the master bedroom and bath portion of the house trailer. The heroin was found in a ""cooker cap"" hidden within a lady's hygiene kit underneath a cabinet in the bathroom which is connected with the master bedroom. The letters and pictures were found in the adjoining master bedroom. Defendants contend that the items were not within the scope of the search warrant and were not within the plain view of the officers during their search for the heroin.
