Text: The punishment provided by law for the crime of criminal mischief is greater depending upon the value of the property damaged. Therefore, if If you find the defendant guilty of criminal mischief, you must determine by your verdict whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that: a. [Tthe damage to the property was $1,000 or greater.] [Bby reason of the damage, there was an interruption or impairment of a business operation or public communication, transportation, supply of water, gas or power, or other public service which cost $1,000 or more in labor and supplies to restore.] b. [Tthe damage to the property was greater than $200 but less than $1,000.] c. [Tthe damage to the property was $200 or less.] d. [the property damaged was a church, synagogue, mosque, or other place of worship or any religious article contained therein]. e. [the defendant has previously been convicted of criminal mischief]. § 806.13(5)(a), Fla. Stat. The amounts of value of damage to property owned by separate persons, if the property was damaged during one scheme or course of conduct, may be aggregated in determining the total value.
