Butler v. Florida, 715 So.2d 339 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1998)
The appeals court found that the defendant's aggravated stalking conviction should be overturned. The court held that the evidence did not prove that the victim suffered any "emotional distress," nor was there any evidence establishing a "series of acts," as required by the statute. The court found that the incidents that did occur (defendant struck victim on one occasion, threw a chair through a window on the same occasion, was insistent and abusive with the victim at her child's school on another occasion, and then returned to the school and physically attacked the victim) were disjointed and discrete from each other and were not instances of repeated harassing conduct.
