Supreme Court of Florida

The Florida Bar, Complainant v. Jacqueline Marie Kinsella, Respondent.

December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 1046

Summary

The Court approved the referee's findings that Jacqueline Marie Kinsella committed multiple violations arising from three thefts from her employer, but rejected the recommended ten-day suspension. Considering the repeated theft, applicable disciplinary standards, and substantial mitigation, the Court imposed a three-year suspension rather than disbarment. Justice Pariente, dissenting, would have imposed a ninety-one-day to one-year suspension, while Chief Justice Canady and Justice Lewis, dissenting, would have imposed disbarment.
