(“While it bears reminding that every trial judge ‘owes a duty of neutrality to
the parties and may not favor one side or the other,’ M.W. v. State, 263
So. 3d 214 (Fla. 3d DCA 2019), a principle that holds true whether in a
proceeding before a jury or before the bench, we find the trial court's actions
fell within the broad discretion afforded to the court to manage and regulate
the course of the [evidence before it].” (footnote omitted)).
