R.H. v. State

Summary

The Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal held that possession of a common pocketknife on school property did not violate section 790.115(2), Florida Statutes (2009), because that statute incorporates a definition of weapon that expressly excludes a common pocketknife. The court determined that the three-and-a-quarter-inch folding knife qualified as a common pocketknife under the applicable statutory and case-law definitions. It reversed the adjudication and remanded for entry of a judgment of dismissal.
