R. A. L. v. State
R. A. L. v. State
Opinion of the Court
The adjudication of delinquency under review is reversed with directions to discharge the appellant. Just as in A. R. v. State, 393 So.2d 1174 (Fla.3d DCA 1981), the respondent’s unrefuted, exculpatory, and not unreasonable explanation of his possession of a stolen moped — that he bought it at a flea market — rendered the state’s case, which was based solely on the inference provided by Section 812.022(2), Florida Statutes (1979),
Reversed.
. (2) Proof of possession of property recently stolen, unless satisfactorily explained, gives rise to an inference that the person in possession of the property knew or should have known that the property had been stolen, [e. s.]
