      Affirmed. See Jones v. State, 591 So. 2d 911 (Fla. 1991) (The evidence

claimed to be newly discovered "must have been unknown by the trial court, by the
party, or by counsel at the time of trial and it must appear that defendant or his

counsel could not have [ascertained those facts] by the use of diligence" such as

taking the witness' testimony.).
