Based on the Florida Supreme Court’s opinion in State v. Dortch, 46 Fla. L. Weekly S129 (Fla. May 20, 2021), we grant the State’s motion for rehearing. In Dortch, the supreme court held “there is no fundamental- error exception to the preservation requirement of” Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)(c). Id.
