No. 4D10-4915.

122 So.3d 912 (2013)

Javier CASTRO, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied October 21, 2013.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michelle Walsh of Law Offices of Michelle Walsh, P.A., Miami, for appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Jeanine M. Germanowicz , Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


WARNER, J.

The main issue presented in this appeal is whether the act of tying the victim's hands while appellant committed a robbery constitutes the act of kidnapping, where appellant did not untie the victim after the conclusion of the crime. Appellant moved for judgment of acquittal on this ground, which the trial court denied. We agree and affirm his conviction. We also find no merit in the remaining issues raised.
