An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Lisa S. Walsh,
Judge.
Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Susan S. Lerner, Assistant Public
Defender, for appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Christina L. Dominguez, Assistant
Attorney General, for appellee.
Before LOGUE, HENDON, and GORDO, JJ.
HENDON, J.
After thoroughly reviewing the record on appeal, we conclude that there was
competent substantial evidence adduced at trial to support the trial court’s denial of
the defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal of the one count of battery on an
emergency care provider, in violation of section 784.07(1), Florida Statutes (2018),
and the one count of resisting an officer without violence, in violation of section
843.02, Florida Statutes (2018). We therefore affirm the convictions and sentence.
Affirmed.
