Q: floor with suspect cocaine and marijuana. The baggies were approximately one inch by one inch. The parties stipulated that the substances were marijuana and cocaine. Police testified that the manner of packaging indicated the drugs were set up for distribution. At the close of the State’s case, defense counsel moved for a judgment of acquittal, arguing that the State had failed to prove the defendant had committed any crime as the police never observed anything illegal in the defendant’s possession.

State, 970 So.2d 923, 926-27 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), and thus reverse the judgments of conviction. See Pagan v. State, 830 So.2d 792, 803 (Fla.2002) (<HOLDING>). Morejon v. State, 633 So.2d 1094 (Fla. 3d DCA
