Opinion
No. 99-0987.
Opinion filed December 15, 1999.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St. Lucie County; Marc A. Cianca, Judge; L.T. No. 98-2269-CFA.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Sophia Letts, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and David M. Schultz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
We affirm. The trial court did not err by denying appellant's motion for judgment of acquittal. The record contains sufficient evidence to sustain appellant's conviction for felony battery. The record also contains sufficient evidence to support the jury's rejection of appellant's assertion of self defense to the felony battery charge.
AFFIRMED.
WARNER, C.J., DELL and GUNTHER, JJ. concur.
