STATE OF FLORIDA v. ONTERRIOUS TILLMAN (2023)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellant, v. ONTERRIOUS V. TILLMAN, Appellee.

Nos. 4D22-1875, 4D22-2300

Decided: June 28, 2023

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sorraya M. Solages-Jones, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Paul Edward Petillo, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

In case number 4D22-1875, we affirm without discussion the circuit court's order granting the defendant's post-verdict renewed motion for judgment of acquittal on the charge of neglect of a child causing great bodily harm while in possession of a firearm.

In case number 4D22-2300, we affirm the defendant's conviction on the charge of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. The defendant's first two arguments on appeal lack merit and require no further discussion. The defendant's third argument on appeal, that he was entitled to a twelve-person jury under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, also lacks merit, for the reasons stated in Guzman v. State, 350 So. 3d 72, 73 (Fla. 4th DCA 2022), rev. denied, No. SC22-1597, 2023 WL 3830251 (Fla. June 6, 2023).

Case no. 4D22-1875 affirmed; case no. 4D22-2300 affirmed.

PER CURIAM.

WARNER, MAY, and GERBER, JJ., concur.
