I.V. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 21, 1990 · Cobb, Griffin, Peterson
562 So. 2d 854; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 4462; 1990 WL 83617 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

I.V. v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, a juvenile, appeals the denial of his motion for judgment of acquittal and his subsequent conviction of two counts of grand theft of an automobile. The evidence against appellant was sparse and entirely circumstantial. Because the state failed to exclude every reasonable hypothesis of innocence, we reverse. E.g., Newberry v. State, 442 So.2d 334 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983).

REVERSED.

COBB, PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
