Opinion filed December 30, 2002.
An appeal from the circuit court for Escambia County. Jan Shackelford, Judge.
Robert I. Barrar, Esquire of the Law Offices of Ellis Rubin and Robert I. Barrar, Miami, for Appellant.
Richard E. Doran, Attorney General, and Robert L. Martin, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
On Motion for Rehearing, Reconsideration And/Or Clarification
We grant the motion for rehearing and clarification, withdraw our previously issued opinion, and substitute the following in its place.
Livingston v. State, 27 Fla. L. Weekly D2360 (Fla. Nov. 1, 2002).
Appellant was convicted of three counts of extortion, one count of threat against a public servant in violation of section 838.021, Florida Statutes (1997), and one count of aggravated stalking. On appeal she raises numerous issues, three of which we find to be meritorious. After hearing oral argument and carefully considering the transcript of appellant's trial, we reverse appellant's convictions and sentences for the extortion offenses charged in counts I and IV of the information filed against her, and for the violation of section 838.021, Florida Statutes (1997), charged in count II of that information. With regard to those counts we conclude that there was insufficient evidence adduced to support the convictions. We affirm appellant's convictions on counts III and V.
Reversed in part, affirmed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.
