D.G. v. STATE

No. 94-04063.

661 So.2d 75 (1995)

D.G., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

June 21, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert E. Jagger, Public Defender, and Roberts J. Bradford, Jr., Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Anne E. Sheer, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


ALTENBERND, Judge.

D.G. appeals an order adjudicating him delinquent for obstructing a police officer without violence. We reverse because the state failed to prove that D.G.'s verbal protests crossed the threshold from protected free speech to conduct that obstructed the officers in the "execution of legal process" or in the "lawful execution of any legal duty." § 843.02, Fla. Stat. (1993). See City of Houston v. Hill, 482 U.S. 451
