A Lakeland girl will not receive a new trial over claims she was wrongly arrested for allegedly stalking and harassing 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick, who killed herself in 2013 over alleged bullying by classmates.
The case raises questions about what constitutes unlawful search and seizure when arresting children. And although the appellate panel acknowledged the arrest had “a devastating effect” on the plaintiff, it determined the officers’ actions were not unlawful.
