FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND
Appellant,
DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED.
v.
CASE NO. 1D03-144
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_________________________/
Opinion filed June 14, 2004.
An appeal from the circuit court for Escambia County.
Kenneth B. Bell, Judge.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; Kathleen Stover, Assistant Public Defender,
Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General; Philip W. Edwards, Assistant Attorney General,
Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of his conviction for attempted burglary of a
conveyance, a lesser-included offense of that of burglary of a conveyance with which
he had been charged. Because the evidence presented, viewed in a light most
favorable to the state, was insufficient as a matter of law to prove that appellant had anything to do with attempting to burglarize the car alleged to have been burglarized,
the trial court should have granted appellant's legally sufficient motion for a judgment
of acquittal. Because it did not, we reverse, and remand with directions that the trial
court enter an order granting the motion for judgment of acquittal as to the charge of
burglary of a conveyance; set aside the judgment of conviction of attempted burglary
of a conveyance; and discharge appellant as to that offense.
REVERSED and REMANDED, with directions.
WEBSTER, VAN NORTWICK and POLSTON, JJ., CONCUR.
