A younger friend of mine attends a technical center for culinary arts as a duel enrolment from his high school. He dated a girl in the culinary arts program and then broke it off and she was not very happy with this. One day in culinary while working in the kitchin He closed the door to the cooler (it can be opened from the inside). She used this as a opportunity to get back at him even though he was just doing his job. She wrote a witness statement to the school saying "he locked me in the freezer for like ten minutes". I was not able to obtain a copy of the statement as it is out of my citys juristiction. And they would not give him a copy. Under the evidence code of florida F.S.S. chapter 90the fact that she said like ten minutes, and in the freezer are both false and to my understanding render the statement null and void. In this case the statement should have been thrown outand the incident dismissed but the administrators of the school instead of this changed his scheduel from culinary arts to electrical building maintinence. How can he get back in the culinary arts class. (keep in mind upper levels of the schools have said it is the schools discression and they said they disenroled him because he closed the door and that the time and wether is was the refrigerator or freezer is not important. Thanks for your help guys. ~mike~
p.s. can he take legal action against her for this.
i should know this but I just got hired on with my departmend only a few months ago and am not fully versed in florida law yet (still in my training fase). Thanks again.
