Briefs
Steele transferred to Pinellas County jail

Alfredie Steele, the man accused of fatally shooting Pasco sheriff's Lt. Charles "Bo" Harrison in 2003, was transferred from Sumter County to the Pinellas County jail on Wednesday at the request of the Public Defender's Office.
Public Defender Bob Dillinger, one of Steele's lawyers, made the request, according to Assistant Public Defender Tom Hanlon. But Hanlon said he could not comment on why. Dillinger did not return calls seeking comment on Thursday.
Steele had been held without bail in the Sumter County jail since his arrest June 3, 2003, two days after he is accused of killing Harrison in a sniper-style shooting as the 57-year-old sat in his patrol cruiser in Lacoochee. Jail records show Steele was booked into the Pinellas County jail Wednesday about 3 p.m.
Steele, 22, faces a charge of first-degree murder and the death penalty if convicted. His case had been on hiatus until October, when the Florida Supreme Court struck down a judge's decisions on how to apply the state's death penalty statutes to the case.
Steele, who is from Lacoochee, has pleaded not guilty. No trial date has been set.
