Affirmed. See Florida v. Nixon, 543 U.S. 175, 189 (2004) (rejecting argument that counsel must obtain express consent from a defendant for strategy of conceding guilt where defense counsel has adequately explained the strategy); Chandler v. State, 848 So.2d 1031, 1040 n. 11 (Fla. 2003) (noting requirement that appellate courts must adhere to trial court's credibility determinations); Sage v. State, 905 So.2d 1039, 1041 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (noting that after Nixon, the issue is whether it was a reasonable trial strategy to concede guilt, not whether the defendant consented to such strategy). Affirmed.
