Beeson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 10, 1998 · Green, Patterson, Threadgill
711 So. 2d 1345; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 6559; 1998 WL 307374 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Beeson v. State

Opinion of the Court

THREADGILL, Acting Chief Judge.

Curtis Duane Beeson appeals an order denying his motion for return of property after he was acquitted of the charge of carrying a concealed firearm. At a hearing on the motion, the State advanced only one justification for denial: the prosecutor’s opinion that Bee-son was not the type of person who should own a gun. This was an insufficient basis upon which to deny the motion. On appeal, the State concedes that the motion for return of property should have been granted. Accordingly, we reverse.

Reversed.

PATTERSON and GREEN, JJ., concur.
