STATE v. PENNINGTON

No. 95-01978.

667 So.2d 483 (1996)

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Lisa PENNINGTON, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

February 2, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kimberly D. Nolen, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Allyn Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Clearwater, for Appellee.

BLUE, Acting Chief Judge.
