Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Pearce v. State, 880 So.2d 561, 571 (Fla.2004) (stating that a trial court should not grant a motion for judgment of acquittal unless there is no legally sustainable view of the evidence which the jury might find favorable to the opposing party); E.B. v. State, 531 So.2d 1053, 1054 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988) (holding that evidence offered to show its effect on one's state of mind, rather than for the truth of the matter it asserts, is not hearsay).
