BROWN v. STATE

No. 84-1084.

467 So.2d 323 (1985)

Lucretia BROWN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

February 13, 1985.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Sara Blumberg and Michael Dubiner of Dubiner & Blumberg, P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joan Fowler Rossin, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks reversal of her conviction of second degree murder.
