Holland v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 12, 2002 · Barfield, Browning, Kahn
825 So. 2d 520; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 13197; 2002 WL 31026830 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Holland v. State

Opinion of the Court

BARFIELD, J.

We find, as a matter of law, that the evidence presented by the state, even considering the legitimate inferences most favorable to the prosecution, is insufficient to support a finding beyond a reasonable doubt that the appellant entered his neighbor’s house with the fully-formed conscious intent to commit a crime therein. Therefore the conviction for burglary of a structure is REVERSED.

KAHN, and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
