Sanders v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Sanders v. State, 672 So. 2d 90 (1996)
1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 4051; 1996 WL 187350
Altenbernd, Frank, Quince
Sanders v. State
Opinion of the Court
This appeal involves the same factual circumstances described in In re Meyer, 672 So.2d 85 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996). The allegations in the amended order to show cause are identical to those in Ms. Gerren’s case, except that they are directed to Kathryn Sanders. As in Ms. Gerren’s case, we reverse this order of indirect criminal contempt because the order to show cause did not allege the essential facts required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.840(a). In light of this holding, we do not decide whether the trial court properly denied Ms. Sanders’ motion to disqualify or whether she could be forced to testify after invoking her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent.
Reversed.
