Question Presented (from Petition)

Can the Charlotte County Court of Florida deny a Motion for Judgment of Acquittal, when the State did "not" prove Corpus Delicit of 2"d Degree Murder with Evidence that 's insufficient and circumstantial in a case that was delayed for 15 years and 6 months when fact witnesses have died and witnesses could not be located in order to prepare a defense for trial?

Can the 2nd DCA of Florida uphold that decision of the trial Court denying the JOA motions?
