During the trial, lawyers for the plaintiffs showed how House redistricting staff met twice with GOP consultants, and one of former House Speaker Dean Cannon's top aides gave draft versions of the maps to another GOP consultant, Marc Reichelderfer, in 2011 before they were publicly released.



Testimony also showed that other maps drawn by Republican Party of Florida director of House campaigns Frank Terraferma ended up in the hands of GOP consultant Rich Heffley, and were ultimately entered into the public record under the name of a former Florida State University engineering student.
