Moore v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 14, 1999 · Cobb, Griffin, Peterson
730 So. 2d 1290; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 6283; 1999 WL 299736 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Moore v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, C.J.

We have received correspondence which we treat as a petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner asserts he is being illegally held because the crime he committed— snatching a purse containing only $12 — is not a felony. He fails to recognize that it is the “snatching” that defines his crime, not the amount snatched.

PETITION DENIED.

COBB and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
