POHL v. STATE (2003)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Fourth District.

Sharon POHL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D01-4823.

Decided: February 19, 2003

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Donna M. Hoffmann, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

We affirm appellant's convictions of tampering with a witness, contrary to section 914.22(1), Florida Statute (2000), and retaliation against a witness, in violation of section 914.23, Florida Statutes (2000).   We reverse appellant's conviction of harassing a witness under section 914.22(2), Florida Statutes (2000), because there was no evidence that appellant's contact with the police informant hindered, delayed, prevented, or dissuaded the informant from engaging in any of the conduct specified in section 914.22(2)(a)-(d).

Affirmed in part, reversed in part.

PER CURIAM.

STONE, GROSS and MAY, JJ., concur.
