Eddy v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided July 2, 1987 · Cowart, Dauksch, Orfinger
510 So. 2d 969; 12 Fla. L. Weekly 1618; 1987 Fla. App. LEXIS 9152 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Eddy v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAUKSCH, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment in an aggravated child abuse case. Upon a review of the evidence it is our considered judgment that the trial court should have granted appellant’s motion for judgment of acquittal. There was no proof that a deadly weapon was used and there was insufficient evidence to establish that appellant maliciously punished his daughter. The conviction must be reversed.

REVERSED.

ORFINGER and COWART, JJ., concur.
