ON MOTION FOR REHEARING AND MOTION FOR ISSUANCE OF A WRITTEN OPINION
Per Curiam.
We deny Christopher J. Thorpe's motion for rehearing, but we grant his motion for issuance of a written opinion. We withdraw our opinion issued on June 2, 2020, and substitute the following opinion in its place:
AFFIRMED . See Schoenwetter v. State , 46 So. 3d 535, 554 (Fla. 2010) ("Reasonable decisions regarding trial strategy, made after deliberation by a claimant's trial attorneys in which available alternatives have been considered and rejected, do not constitute deficient performance under Strickland ."); see also Bruno v. State , 807 So. 2d 55, 68 (Fla. 2001) ("Counsel's performance in this case may not have been perfect, but it did not fall below the required standard.").
Roberts, Rowe, and Bilbrey, JJ., concur.
