DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellant, v. ONTERRIOUS V. TILLMAN, Appellee. Nos. 4D22-1875 and 4D22-2300 [June 28, 2023] Consolidated appeals from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Howard Coates, Judge; L.T. Case No. 502020CF006155A. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Sorraya M. Solages- Jones, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Paul Edward Petillo, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellee. PER CURIAM. In case number 4D22-1875, we affirm without discussion the circuit court’s order granting the defendant’s post-verdict renewed motion for judgment of acquittal on the charge of neglect of a child causing great bodily harm while in possession of a firearm. In case number 4D22-2300, we affirm the defendant’s conviction on the charge of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. The defendant’s first two arguments on appeal lack merit and require no further discussion. The defendant’s third argument on appeal, that he was entitled to a twelve-person jury under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, also lacks merit, for the reasons stated in Guzman v. State,350 So. 3d 72
