Supreme Court of Florida
The Florida Bar, Complainant v. Jacqueline Marie Kinsella, Respondent. — Pariente, J., Dissenting
December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 1046
Summary
Justice Pariente dissented from the three-year suspension imposed on Kinsella for stealing small amounts from her employer, concluding that the sanction was disproportionate. She emphasized Kinsella's remorse, restitution, cooperation, withheld adjudication on a misdemeanor, and substantial mitigation, and would impose a rehabilitative suspension ranging from ninety-one days to one year. Justice Lewis, dissenting, would have imposed disbarment, and Chief Justice Canady, dissenting, agreed that disbarment was required.
