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.
