No. 79-2057
Before SCHWARTZ and NESBITT, JJ., and VANN, HAROLD R. (Ret.), Associate Judge.
399 So. 2d 402 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1981) Positive Treatment
Cited by 1 case

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The defendant’s adjudication of delinquency for possession of more than five grams of marijuana must be reversed because the circumstantial evidence of joint or constructive possession is entirely inadequate to establish that the juvenile had either knowledge of or the ability to control the contraband so as to establish criminal possession. Johnson v. State, 381 So. 2d 342 (Fla.3d DCA 1980) and cases cited therein.

Reversed and remanded with directions to discharge the juvenile.
