2. “In Blackburn, 424 So.2d at 251-52 , the supreme court explained: It would be unfair to permit the defendant to have the advantage of the possibility that a lesser “compromise” verdict will be returned (as opposed to being convicted of the offense charged) and then to raise the complaint for the first time on appeal, that the evidence did not support the responsive verdict to which he failed to object. Accordingly, defendant is entitled to a reversal of his conviction only if the evidence is insufficient under the Jackson standard to support a conviction of the charged offenses, attempted first and attempted second degree murder, regardless of whether the responsive verdict is supported by the evidence.
