This 1993 ruling that forms the context for the recent action noted that independent illegality, found also that that illegality as an underpinning of reverse-sting operations violated due process of law and that, as a consequences, convictions based on it were invalid and should be vacated. But this “ruling” isn’t a ruling, didn’t declare anything illegal, its an administrative action by the State Attorney for Broward County applying the 1993 ruling after a routine audit found that many convictions remained on the books despite the 1993 ruling.
