Barron v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

356 So. 2d 876 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1978)

Opinion

No. 77-1636.

March 21, 1978.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, John R. Beranek, J.

Sheldon M. Schapiro, Hollywood, and Raymond M. Windsor, Plantation, of Stone Schapiro, Hollywood, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty, Gen., Tallahassee, and Harry M. Hipler, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of possession of more than five grams of marijuana, which was located in a shed on a ranch owned by A. Douda Sons. The evidence is entirely circumstantial and it is not inconsistent with appellant's innocence. Thus, there is insufficient evidence upon which to support the conviction.

Accordingly, the other points raised need not be considered because our determination requires a reversal of the judgment and sentence appealed from and appellant's discharge.

REVERSED AND REMANDED with directions to discharge appellant.

DOWNEY, ANSTEAD and LETTS, JJ., concur.
