Stockton v. State
Stockton v. State
371 So. 2d 106; 1978 Fla. App. LEXIS 17297
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Stockton v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant seeks review of his conviction for receiving stolen property, Section 812.-031, Florida Statutes (1975), asserting there was insufficient evidence to show his knowledge of the stolen character of the property. We agree and reverse. The evidence against the appellant was entirely circumstantial and was insufficient to exclude every reasonable hypothesis of innocence. Accordingly, appellant’s conviction is REVERSED with directions that appellant be DISCHARGED.
