District Court of Appeal of Florida

A conviction and sentence for the sale of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a park is affirmed over a claim, inter alia, that the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion for judgment of acquittal which asserted that the state failed to establish that the transaction took place within 1,000 feet of a park, as no evidence established the existence of the park at the time of the crime.
