Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 18, 2015 · Evander, Orfinger, Wallis
174 So. 3d 1104; 2015 Fla. App. LEXIS 13899; 2015 WL 5456718 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Freeman v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

AFFIRMED. Limited, boilerplate motions for judgment of acquittal, which are of a technical and pro-forma nature, are inadequate to preserve a sufficiency of evidence claim for appellate review. Brooks v. State, 762 So.2d 879, 895 (FIa. 2000). Relief, if any, must come in a timely and sufficiently pled motion for postconviction relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

ORFINGER, EVANDER and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
