Watson v. State

72 Fla. 16
Supreme Court of Florida·Decided June 20, 1916·Published·Cited by 1 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam.

—Watson was convicted of the statutory offense of having carnal intercourse with an unmar[17] ried female under the age of eighteen years and took writ of error.

As there is no evidence whatever that the female was unmarried, an essential element of the crime is not proven, therefore the judgment is reversed.

All concur.
