Smith v. State of Florida , 95 Fla. 821 ( 1928 )

Plaintiff in error was indicted and tried for murder and convicted of manslaughter in the Circuit Court of Escambia County. By writ of error he comes here challenging his conviction. The main question brought up for our consideration is the sufficiency of the evidence to support the verdict. The evidence was circumstantial. We do not think it meets the circumstantial evidence rule prescribed by this Court in Hall v. State, 90 Fla. 719,107 So. 246 and cases there cited, so the judgment below is reversed and a new trial awarded.

Reversed.

WHITFIELD, P. J., AND BUFORD, J., concur.

ELLIS, C. J., AND STRUM AND BROWN, J. J., concur in the opinion and judgment.
