PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See J.B. v. State, 73 So. 3d 361 (Fla. 3d DCA 2011); State
v. Clyatt, 976 So. 2d 1182 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008). See also Bush v. State, 295
So. 3d 179, 200-01 (Fla. 2020) (abolishing the “special” standard of appellate
review for circumstantial evidence cases, and holding that the standard of
review to be applied to a determination of the legal sufficiency of evidence in
support of a criminal conviction (regardless of the circumstantial nature of
the evidence) is whether the State presented competent, substantial
evidence and, viewing that evidence in the light most favorable to the State,
whether a rational trier of fact could have found the State established the
elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt).
