M.P. v. State
M.P. v. State
Opinion of the Court
We affirm the trial court’s determination, following an adjudicatory hearing, that M.P. had committed the delinquent act of uttering a forged instrument. Regardless of whether the special standard of review is limited in its application to cases in which the proof of every element is wholly circumstantial, or applies more broadly to cases in which proof of any one element is wholly circumstantial
The adjudicatory order and disposition order are affirmed.
. We will not recount the history of the development, demise, and resurrection of the special standard of review in circumstantial evidence cases. For a thorough analysis of this standard and its sometimes-inconsistent application by Florida appellate courts, see Knight v. State, 107 So.3d 449 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013), review granted 151 So.3d 1226 (Fla. 2014).
