SCOT HARDING DAVIS, APPELLANT, v. THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

Because the disputed and equivocal circumstantial evidence that Davis was driving the decedent's vehicle at the time of the fatal accident was, as a matter of law, insufficient to overcome Davis' direct testimony on the stand and other evidence that he was a passenger, Mayo v. State, 71 So.2d 899 (Fla. 1954); see McArthur v. State, 351 So.2d 972 (Fla. 1977); cf. State v. Allen, 335 So.2d 823 (Fla. 1976), the conviction below of manslaughter under § 316.1931, Fla. Stat. (1983) is reversed with directions to discharge the defendant.
