burglary of conveyance

[tknox2]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

My friend was recently charge with burglary of conveyance and grand theft firearm. The charges were brought about after he went to a family gathering and a gun came up missing out of his uncles car(his uncle is a cop in another part of florida). Because of my friends past they automatically accused him of the crime. Is this legal? and if so will the charges stick if no one witnessed him going in the car and taking the item. Because they are only pin pointing him cause of his past no one saw anything and the car was unlocked.

Yes because they never found the gun and it is still missing. This happened about 3 weeks ago and charges were just brought up on him this week.

just because they never found the gun, doesn't mean your friend didn't take it.

Im unsure if he took it but from what he is telling me is that he didn't and he has been living a good clean life for about 5 years now so I do believe him. But the question is can he be charged with this crime if the evidence was never found and no one saw who went in the car and took the item.
