Hurley v. State

This case is the product of unusual aspects. The predicate for it was an information charging appellant, a woman with one leg, perambulating on crutches, with murder in the second degree. At the trial she was convicted of manslaughter. The victim C.B. Nash, was a man six feet tall, weighing over 200 pounds.

Appellant lived at 2218 Emma Street in Tampa.…
