Gradwell v. State

Gradwell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 8, 1974 · Cross, Mager, Owen
303 So. 2d 59 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Gradwell v. State

Dissenting Opinion

OWEN, Chief Judge

(dissenting):

Appellant was charged with second degree murder by strangulation and after a jury trial was found guilty as charged. Of the several points raised on appeal, I feel that two have sufficient merit to require reversal of the judgment, i. e., the insufficiency of the proof of the corpus delicti and the insufficiency of the evidence to sustain the conviction.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed.

CROSS and MAGER, JJ., concur. OWEN, C. J., dissents with opinion.
