Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I am in Florida and had my house searched with a warrant. My roommates name was on the warrant but mine was not listed, can I be convicted of things they found of mine? Seeing how the warrant wasn't targeted at myself?

However, there may be other various defenses that can be raised to have evidence suppressed, for example. Search and seizure law is complex and I suggest you hire a good attorney in your area.
