     PER CURIAM.
      Affirmed. See State v. Smith, 547 So. 2d 613, 616 (Fla. 1989) (“[I]t is

firmly established law that the statutes in effect at the time of commission of

a crime control as to the offenses for which the perpetrator can be convicted,

as well as the punishments which may be imposed.”); Walton v. State, 246

So. 3d 246, 252 (Fla. 2018) (“Viewing decisional changes in the law as newly

discovered ‘facts’ would erase the need for a retroactivity analysis pursuant

to [Witt v. State, 387 So. 2d 922 (Fla. 1980)].”).
