PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant’s adjudication of delinquency is reversed on a finding that the circumstantial evidence relied upon by the state was not shown to be inconsistent with a reasonable hypothesis of innocence. Circumstantial evidence did not rise to that reasonable certainty that the accused committed the offense. Pate v. State, 72 Fla. 97, 72 So. 517 (1916); see also, 13 Fla.Jur. Evidence § 417 and cases cited therein.

¶2Reversed.
