One Mother Working For Change
Sharon Blair is using her grief for positive change. In 2009, her daughter Jennifer Reynolds died in their hometown of Clearwater for a prescription drug overdose.

"To be reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, a search ordinarily must be based on individualized suspicion of wrongdoing," Ungaro wrote in her ruling. ...read more
