Hill v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided June 9, 2006No. 5D05-62Published

1Opinion of the CourtMonaco, J.

In this tragic case, Mary L. Hill appeals the judgment and sentence adjudicating her guilty of vehicular homicide,1 manslaughter,2 and actual infliction of personal injury by culpable negligence,3 and the order denying her motion for new trial. She first argues that the trial court erred in overruling her objection to the comments of the prosecutor during closing argument. We discern no error in this regard. She next argues that the trial court erred in denying her motion for new trial based on newly discovered evidence. Although we affirm on this basis as well, the argument merits discussion.
