KLJ v. State
Docket: 3D99-2529
Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; April 5, 2000; Florida; State Appellate Court
K.L.J., a juvenile, appealed an adjudication of delinquency from the District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District. The court affirmed the adjudication, concluding that K.L.J.'s own spontaneous admission of awareness that the car he was in was stolen sufficiently demonstrated his knowledge of being present in a vehicle without permission. This awareness met the legal standard for trespass to a conveyance, as established in prior case law (D.L. v. State, 567 So.2d 5, 5 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990)). The court's decision was issued on April 5, 2000, with a rehearing denied on May 17, 2000. Legal representation for the appellant was provided by the Public Defender's office, while the appellee was represented by the Attorney General's office.
