A Florida jury convicts a black man of a DUI even after bodycam video shows a white police officer "planting" evidence.

Leon County Judge Jason Jones sentenced Calvin Riley to 10 days in jail and six months of probation for the May 2023 arrest.

This case received the national spotlight just days ahead of the start of trial Friday because media outlet "Our Tallahassee" posted an edited clip of the arresting officers' body camera footage. The footage shows, in part, an officer picking up a bottle from Riley's car during the incident, pouring out the contents, and placing the bottle back inside the vehicle.

After the video gained thousands of views and reactions last week, the Tallahassee Police Department denies any misconduct allegations.
