February 28, 2008Panama City woman convicted, sentenced for assault with
vehicle
State Attorney Steve Meadows announces the conviction, in Bay County Circuit
Court, of Daphne Denise Murrell, on two counts of Aggravated Assault with a
Deadly Weapon.
The three males, three females jury deliberated about 35 minutes before
finding Murrell, BF, DOB: 4-9-1980, 348 ½ College Avenue, Panama City,
guilty of assaulting the teen-aged victim, Startavia Anderson, with a motor
vehicle. Assistant State Attorney Michelle Spaven presented evidence that,
on one of the occasions, tread marks were left on the victim’s pants.
Murrell, who was convicted and sent to prison, in 2001, for battery on a
person 65 or older, was sentenced immediately. She was ordered to serve
three years in prison, followed by a total of five years probation.
Florida law requires that an inmate serve at least 85 per cent of her
sentence.
