IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES

— REPORT NO. 2014

- 08.

[October 8, 2015]

PER CURIAM.

The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal

Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed changes to the standard jury

instructions and asks that the Court authorize the amended standard instructions for

publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Committee proposes amend ing the following existing standard criminal

jury instructions: 7.9 (Vehicular or Vessel Homicide); 11.10(f) (Lewd or

Lascivious Exhibition Over Computer Service); 11.10(g) (Lewd or Lascivious

Exhibition by a Detainee in the Presence of an Employee of a F acility); 13.1

(Burglary); 14.9 (Exploitation of [an Elderly Person] [a Disabled Adult]); 20.15

(Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification Information of a Minor); 20.16

(Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification Information of a Minor by a Parent or- 2

-

Guard ian); 22.5 (Setting Up, Promoting, Conducting a Lottery); 22.6 (Disposing of

Money, Property by Lottery); 22.7 (Conducting a Lottery Drawing); 22.8

(Assisting in Lottery); 22.9 (Selling Lottery Tickets); 22.10 (Possessing a Lottery

Ticket); 22.11 (Possessi ng Rundown S heets, E tc.); 23.8 (Selling a Minor into

Prostitution by a [Parent] [Legal Guardian] [Person with Control of the Minor]);

29.24 (Human Trafficking); and 29.25 (Human Trafficking by a [Parent] [Legal

Guardian] [Person with Control] of a Minor)

. The Committee also proposes the

following new jury instruction: 20.21 (Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification

Information of a [Disabled Adult] [Public Servant] [Veteran] [First Responder]

[State Employee] [Federal Employee]) . The Committee published its proposals in

The Florida Bar News

. Four comments were received by the Committee. The

Court did not publish the proposals after they were filed.

Having considered the Committee’s report

, the comments submitted to the

Committee, and the Committee’s r esponse to the Court’s request for additional

information, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the

Committee, with one modification discussed below, and authorize them for

publication and use.

Section 782.071, Florida Statutes (2014)

, de fines the offense of Vehicular

Homicide, while section 782.072 , Florida Statutes (2014)

, defines the offense of

Vessel Homicide. Element 1 of instruction 7.9 differentiates between the two- 3

-

offenses consistent with the applicable statute. Because Vessel H omicide does not

specifically provide for a separate offense for death of an unborn child, section

775.021(5), 1 newly enacted during the 2014 legislative session, s ee ch. 2014

- 194,

§ 2, Laws of Fla., operates to include death of an unborn child as part of the

offense of Vessel Homicide. Vehicular Homicide, on the other hand, includes

death of an unborn child by any injury to the mother as part of the offense. D eath

of an unborn child is therefore applicable to both Vessel Homicide and Vehicular

Homicide, and the italicized note in instruction 7.9 to the contrary is deleted.

We also note the following more significant changes to the jury instructions

as amended

. First, r egarding th e lottery instructions, i.e., 22.5, 22.6, 22.7, 22.8,

22.9, 22.10, and 22.11

, a citation to the case that sets out the three elements

defining “lottery,” Little River Theatre Corp. v. State , 185 So. 855 (Fla. 1939), is

added. In addition, t he definition o f “lottery” is simplified to only include the three

elements already set out in the instructions. Also defined are the term and phrases

1 . Section 775.021(5) provides as follows:

Whoever commits an act that violates a provision of this code or commits a criminal offense defined by another statute and thereby causes the death of, or bodily injury to, an unborn child com mits a separate offense if the provision or statute does not otherwise specifically provide a separate offense for such death or injury to

an unborn child.

§ 775.021(5), Fla. Stat. (2014).- 4

-

“bet,” “thing ventured,” and “prize by lot or chance.” The portion of the definition

defining “lottery ” as follows is deleted: “is a game of chance in which smaller

sums of money or things of smaller value are risked for the chance of getting

money or property of greater value upon the happening of an uncertain event.”

Next, i nstruction 23.8 (Selling a Minor into Prostit ution by a [Parent] [Legal

Guardian] [Person with Control of the Minor]) is remov ed. Finally, regarding th e

human trafficking instruction, 29.24

, “use of coercion” is moved from the

definition section to element two of the offense

, where “use of coercion” is

applicable to establishing the offense of “human trafficking

. ”

The new and amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix

to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use. 2 New language is

indicated by under scoring

, and deleted language is ind icated by struck

- through

type. In authorizing the publication and use of these instructions, we express no

opinion on their correctness and remind all interested parties that this authorization

forecloses neither requesting add itional or alternative instructions nor contesting

the legal correctness of the instructions. We further caution all interested parties

2

. The amendments as reflected in the appendix are to the Criminal Jury Instructions as they appear on the Court’s website at www.floridasupremecourt.org /jury_instructions/instructions.shtml

. We recognize that there may be minor discrepancies between the in structions as they appear on the website and the published versions of the instructions. Any discrepancies as to instructions authorized for publication and use after October 25, 2007, should be resolved by reference to the published opinion of this Court authorizing the instruction.- 5

-

that any comments associated with the instructions reflect only the opinion of the

Committee and are not necessarily in dicative of the views of this Court as to their

correctness or applicability. The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall be

effective when this opinion becomes final.

It is so ordered.

7.9 VEHICULAR OR VESSEL HOMICIDE § 782.071 or § 782.072, Fla. Stat.

.

3. (Defendant) operated the [motor vehicle] [vessel] in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of or great bodily harm to another perso n.

An intent by the defendant to harm or injure the victim or any other person is not an element to be proved by the State. The State does not have to prove the defendant intended to harm or injure anyone. However, the reckless operation of a [motor vehic le] [vessel] requires the State to prove more than a failure to use ordinary care. A “reckless manner” means in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.

Enhanced penalty. § 782.071(1)(b) or § 782.072(2), Fla. Stat. Give if

app licable. If you find the defendant guilty of [ v V ehicular] [ v V essel] h H omicide, you must then determine whether the State has further proved beyond a

reasonable doubt that:- 7

-

1. At the time of the accident, (defendant) knew, or should have known, that the ac cident occurred; and

2. (Defendant) failed to give information and render aid as required by law. (Read applicable portion of § 316.062, Fla. Stat., as charged in information or indictment.)

However, the State is not required to prove (defendant) knew that the accident resulted in injury or death.

Definitions. Give if applicable. § 782.071(2), Fla. Stat. Applicable only to Vehicular

Homicide. “Victim” includes a human being or a viable fetus which is killed as a result of any injury to the mother. A fetus is viable when it becomes capable of meaningful life outside the womb through standard medical measures. An “unborn child” means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.

§ 327.02(39) F la. Stat. Applicable only to Vessel Homicide. “Vessel” is synonymous with boat and includes every description of watercraft, barge, and airboat, other than a seaplane on the water, used or capable of being used as a means of transportation on water.

1. (Defendant) entered a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession of (person alleged).

2. At the time of entering the [structure] [conveyance], (defend ant)

had the intent to commit [(the crime alleged)] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] in that [structure] [conveyance].

The offense intended cannot be trespass or burglary.

Give element 3 only if defendant meets his or her burden of production that he or she had an invitation or license to enter, or that the premises were open to the public. See State v. Hicks, 421 So. 2d 510 (Fla. 1982), and State v. Waters, 436 So. 2d 66 (Fla. 1983).

3. [ (Defendant) was not [licensed] [invited] to enter the [structure] [conveyance].] [The premises were not open to the public at the time of the entering.]

Give if applicable. If the [license] [invitation] to enter was obtained by ( defendant’s) trick or

fraud or deceit, then the [license] [invitation] to enter was not valid.- 14

-

Give if applicable.

If (defendant) entered premises that were open to the public, but then entered an area of the premises that [he] [she] knew or should have known was not open to the publi c, (defendant) committed a burglary if [he] [she]

entered that non

- public area with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] in that non

- public area.

Give if applicable. § 810.07 Fla. Stat. You may infer t hat (defendant) had the intent to commit a crime inside a [structure] [conveyance] if the [entering] [attempted entering] of the [structure] [conveyance] was done stealthily and without the consent of the
owner or occupant.

Give if applicable. The entry n ecessary need not be the whole body of the defendant. It is sufficient if the defendant, with the intent to commit a crime, extends any part of [his] [her] body into the [structure] [conveyance].

Give if the information or indictment charges remaining wi th the intent to commit an offense: To prove the crime of Burglary, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. (Defendant) had permission or consent to enter a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession of (per son alleged).

- c. with the intent to commit or attempt to commit a [forcible felony] [ (the forcible felony alleged) ] inside the [structure] [conveyance]

.

The offense intended cannot be trespass or burglary. Forcible felonies are listed in § 776.08 Fla. Stat.

Proof of intent.

The intent with which an act is done is an operation of the mind and, therefore, is not always capable of direct and positive proof. It may be established by circumstantial evidence like any other fact in a case.

Even though an unlawful [entering] [remaining in] a [structure] [conveyance] is pro ved, if the evidence does not establish that it was done with

the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass], the defendant must be found not guilty of burglary.

Proof of possession of stolen property. Proof of pos session by an accused of property recently stolen by means of a burglary, unless satisfactorily explained, may justify a conviction of burglary if the circumstances of the burglary and of the possession of the stolen property convince you beyond a reasonab le doubt that the defendant committed the burglary.

Definitions; give as applicable. § 810.011(1), Fla. Stat. “Structure” means any building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, that has a roof over it, and the enclosed space of ground and

outbuil dings immediately surrounding that structure.

Burglary enhancements:

With an assault. If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) assaulted any person. An assault is an- 16

-

intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to another, at a time when the defendant appeared to have the ability to carry out the threat and [his] [her] act created a well

- founded fear in the other person that the violence was about to take place.

With a battery. If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) battered any person. A batter y is an actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against that person’s will or the intentional causing of bodily harm to another person.

While armed. If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the

State h as proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) was armed or armed [himself] [herself] within the [structure] [conveyance] with [explosives] [a dangerous weapon].

Definitions. Give as applicable. § 790 .001(5), Fla. Stat. See exceptions in § 790.001(5)(a)

A “dangerous weapon” is any weapon that, taking into account the manner in which it is used, is likely to produce death or great bodily harm. It is not necessary for the State to prove that the defendant intended to use or was willing to use the weapon in furtherance of the burglary in order for a weapon to constitute a “dangerous weapon.”

To “arm” oneself during the course of a burglary includes possessing a firearm, whether loaded with ammunition or not, at any time during the course of committing the burglary.

Structure or conveyance is a dwelling. If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the [structure] [conveyance] [entered] [remained in] was a dwelling.- 17

-

Defini tion. Give as applicable. “Dwelling” means a building [or conveyance] of any kind, whether such building [or conveyance] is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging

intended to be committed therein was t heft of a controlled substance. Pursuant to Florida law, ( name of controlled substance ) is a controlled substance. A theft occurs when a person knowingly and unlawfully obtains or uses or endeavors to obtain or use the property of the victim and does so wi th the intent to, either temporarily or permanently, deprive the victim of his or

her right to the property or any benefit from it or to appropriate the property of the victim to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it.

Traveling from county of residence into another county with intent to commit a burglary and with purpose to thwart law enforcement efforts to track stolen

property. § 843.22, Fla. Stat. If you find (defendant) guilty of [Burglary] [Attempted Burglary] [So licitation to Commit Burglary] [Conspiracy to Commit Burglary], you must also determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt

that:

1. (Defendant) had a county of residence within Florida; and

5. The county in which a person is enrolled in an educational institution;

6. The county in which a person is employed.

Dwelling or structure with use of motor vehicle or damage. If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) entered a [dwelling] [structure] and

1. used a m otor vehicle as an instrumentality, other than merely as a getaway vehicle, to assist in committing the offense, and thereby damaged the [dwelling] [structure].

or

2. caused damage to the [dwelling] [structure] [property within the [dwelling] [structure]], in excess of $1,000.

Authorized emergency vehicle.- 19

-

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the conveyance [entered] [remained in] was an authorized emergency vehicle.

D efinition. See § 316.003, Fla. Stat.

State of emergency. The definitions of structure, dwelling, and conveyance are different for counties where a state of emergency has been declared under chapter 252. See § 810.011(1), (2), and (3), Fla. Stat. If you fin d (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether

1. the burglary was committed within a county that was subject to a state of emergency that had been declared by the governor under chapter 2 52, the “State Emergency Management Act,”

and

2. the perpetration of the burglary was facilitated by conditions arising from the emergency.

2. The [money] [property] was disposed of by means of a lottery.

Definition s. Little River Theatre Corp

. v. State, 185 So. 855 (Fla. 1939).

A “lotter y” has three elements: is a game of chance in which smaller sums of money or things of smaller value are risked for the chance of getting money or property of greater value upon the happening of an uncertain event. The three elements of a lottery are: (1) consideration

— that is, a bet or thing ventured; (2) a prize; and (3) the award or winning of the prize by lot or

chance.

A “bet” is when money or other property is risked, pledged, wagered, or staked by a participant on the outcome of a game, contest, or uncertain or contingent event, with the expectation of gaining or losing as a result.

A “thing ventured” is when some thing other than money or property is risked by a participant on the outcome of a game, contest, or uncertain or contingent event, with the expectation of gaining or losing as a result, which includes but is not limited to the time, inconvenience, and effo rt required to attend or participate, at the expense of foregone alternatives and other opportunities.

A “prize by lot or chance ” is when the award or winning prize is determined by a chance or uncertain or contingent event, the outcome of

which is not i nfluenced or controlled by a participant’s skill , such as by drawing numbers, entries, cards, or by rolling dice.

It is not enough to show that the defendant merely sold lottery tickets or participated in the collection of ticket proceeds or the keeping of records, or participated in determining the winners.

For conviction it must be proved that the defendant had an interest in or control of the [money] [property] and [he] [she] caused it to be disposed of by a lottery conducted under [his] [her] author ity, direction, or supervision. It is not necessary, however, that the State prove that the defendant performed all the acts incident to the lottery.- 41

Possession To "possess" means to have personal charge of or exercise the right of ownership, management, or control over the thing possessed.- 49

-

Possession may be actu al or constructive. If a thing is in the hand of, or on the person, or in a bag or container in the hand of or on the person, or is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person, it is in the actual possession of that person. If a thing is in a place over which the person has control or in which the person has hidden or concealed it, it is in the constructive possession of that

person.

Possession may be joint, that is, two or more persons may jointly have possession of an article, exercising control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that article.

If a person has exclusive possession of a thing, knowledge of its presence may be inferred or assumed.

If a person does not have exclusive possession of a thing, knowledge of its presence may not be inferred or assumed.

Possession.

There are two types of possession : actual possession and constructive possession.

Actual possession. Actual possession means the person is aware of the presence of the object and

a. the object is in the hand of or on the person, or

b. the object is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or

c. the object is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person.

Constructive possession. Constructive possession means the person is aware of the presence of the object, the object is in a place over which the person has control, and the person has the ability to control the object.

Give if applicable. Mere proximity to an object is not sufficient to establish control over that object when the object is in a place that the person does not control.- 50

-

Give if applicable.

I n order to establish constructive possession of an object that was in a place (defendant) did not control, the State must prove (defendant) (1) knew that the object was within [his] [her] presence and (2) exercised control or ownership over the object itself.

Joint possession. Possession may be sole or joint, that is, two or more persons may be aware of the presence of an object and may jointly exercise control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that object.

Inferences.

Exclusiv e control. Henderson v. State, 88 So. 3d 1060 (Fla. 1 st DCA 2012); Meme v. State, 72 So. 3d 254 (Fla. 4 th DCA 2011). If you find that (defendant) :

a. had direct physical custody of the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] or

b. was within ready reach of the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was under [his] [her] control, or

c. had exclusive control of the place where the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located,

you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and had the ability to control [it] [them].

If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where the
[ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located, you may not infer [ he] [[she] had knowledge of the presence of the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] or the ability to control [it] [them], in the absence of other incriminating evidence.- 51

-

Give if applicable. Duncan v. State, 986 So. 2d 653 (Fla. 4 th DCA 2008). However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the
[ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and had the ability to control [it] [them] if [he] [she] had joint con trol over the place where the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located, and the [ lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant.

Joint possession. Possession may be sole or joint, that is, two or more p ersons may be aware of the presence of an object and may jointly exercise control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that object.

Inferences. Exclusive control. Henderson v. State, 88 So. 3d 1060 (Fla. 1 s t DCA 2012); Meme v. State, 72 So. 3d 254 (Fla. 4 th DCA 2011). If you find that (defendant) :

a. had direct physical custody of the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia], or

c. had exclusive control of the place where the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia] were located,

you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records , instruments, or paraphernalia] and had the ability to control them.

If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia] were located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had knowledge of- 55

-

the presence of the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia] or the ability to control them, in the absence of other incriminating evidence.

Give if applicabl e. Duncan v. State, 986 So. 2d 653 (Fla. 4 th DCA 2008). However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the[run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia] ] and had the ability to control them if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or paraphernalia] were located, and the [run down sheets] [tally sheets] [or] [other papers, records, instruments, or parapher nalia] were located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant.

If there is evidence of an exception referred to at the end of § 849.09(1)
