REED v. STATE (2019)

Appellant, Carlos Dante Reed, was indicted, tried, and convicted of first-degree murder with a firearm (Count One) and burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery and a firearm (Count Two). He argues on appeal that the trial court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal. We find no error in the trial court allowing the first-degree murder charge to go to the jury, as there was sufficient evidence to prove both that Appellant murdered the victim and that the murder was premeditated. See Ford v. State, 267 So. 3d 1070, 1075 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019). Nor did the trial court err in denying Appellant's motion regarding Count Two. See In re M.E., 370 So. 2d 795, 797 (Fla. 1979).

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.

ORFINGER, EDWARDS, and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
