I.V. v. STATE

No. 89-337.

562 So.2d 854 (1990)

I.V., a Child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

June 21, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Daniel J. Schafer, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Laura Griffin, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.


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.
