McCRAY v. STATE

No. 1D01-3917.

846 So.2d 1253 (2003)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

June 11, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy Daniels, Public Defender, and Phil Patterson, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Sherri T. Rollinson, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
