Loretta Reed v. State of Florida

no. 01-1238

Columbia County


Reed was accused of several charges related to child abuse. She was convicted following a jury instruction that failed to inform the jury about a disputed element of the crime. The judge sentenced her to 107 and ½ months in prison. On appeal, the State conceded error, but the First District rejected this concession and affirmed.
