PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Carratelli v. State, 961 So. 2d 312, 318 (Fla. 2007) ("By not renewing the objection prior to the jury being sworn, it is presumed that the objecting party abandoned any prior objection he or she may have had and was satisfied with the selected jury.") (citation omitted); Galvez v. Ramos, 941 So. 2d 475, 477 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006) ("Generally, an appellate court cannot address claims raised for the first time on appeal.") (citation omitted); see also State v. Williamson, 813 So. 2d 61, 64 (Fla. 2002) ("[E]vidence of actual, personal possession [of an illegal substance] is enough to sustain a conviction. In other words, knowledge can be inferred from the fact of personal possession.") (citation omitted); Stephens v. State, 787 So. 2d 747, 756 (Fla. 2001) ("In order to be entitled to a special jury instruction, [defendant] must prove ... the special instruction was supported by the evidence."); Odom v. State, 273 So. 3d 1122 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019) ("We find no abuse of discretion or harmful error in the trial court’s denial of a motion for mistrial based on this single word amidst ten pages of closing argument."); Billie v. State, 963 So. 2d 837, 839-40 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) ("Although the defendant is entitled to have the jury instructed on his theory of defense, a trial court’s failure to grant a modification to a standard jury instruction ‘does not constitute error where the instructions given adequately address the applicable legal standards.’ ") (quoting Stephens, 787 So. 2d at 755 ).
