Affirmed. See Concepcion v. State, 188 So. 3d 5, 10 (Fla. 3d DCA
2016) (“The disparity between the State's pre-trial plea offer and the
sentence imposed by the trial court after trial, standing alone, does not create
a presumption of vindictiveness nor require resentencing.”); see also Linn v.
State, 921 So. 2d 830, 833 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006) (noting that element of
knowledge may be proven by circumstantial evidence); Washington v. State,
737 So. 2d 1208, 1215–16 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999) (“The law is clear that a trial
court should rarely, if ever, grant a motion for judgment of acquittal on the
issue of intent. This is because proof of intent usually consists of the
surrounding circumstances of the case.” (citation omitted)).
