Opinion
No. 92-3327.
December 7, 1994.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County; Judge E. Vernon Douglas.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and David P. Gauldin, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellants.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn J. Mosley, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
The trial court erred in denying the appellants' motions for judgments of acquittal. The appellants' convictions are reversed, and this case is remanded with directions that the appellants be discharged.
ALLEN and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
WEBSTER, J. dissents with written opinion.
My review of the record satisfies me that, viewed in a light most favorable to the state, the evidence was legally sufficient to permit the jury to return verdicts of guilt. Accordingly, I am constrained to dissent.
