  IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES—
                    REPORT NO. 2013-06.

                                [August 28, 2014]

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.

      Following publication of its proposals in The Florida Bar News, the

Committee filed its report with the Court. The Committee proposes amending the

following jury instructions: 6.1 (Introduction to Attempted Homicide); 11.14,

11.14(a)-(g) (Failure by a Sexual Offender to Comply with Registration

Requirements); 11.15, 11.15(a) (Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator);

11.15(b)-(k) (Failure by a Sexual Predator to Comply with Registration

Requirements); and 22.15 ([Manufacturing] [Owning] [Storing] [Keeping]
[Possession of] [Permitting the Operation of] [Selling] [Leasing] [Transporting] a

Slot Machine). In addition, the Committee proposes the following new jury

instructions: 10.20 ([Care] [Custody] [Possession] [Control] of [A Firearm]

[Ammunition] While a Final Injunction for [Domestic Violence] [Stalking]

[Cyberstalking] is in Effect); 10.21 (Improper Exhibition of a [Weapon] [Firearm]

[At a School-Sponsored Event] [On School Property] [On a School Bus] [At a

School Bus Stop] [Within 1,000 Feet of a School]); 11.19 (Sexual Misconduct

Between Detention Facility Employees and Inmates); and 20.20 (Mortgage Fraud).

One comment was received by the Committee with respect to the Failure to

Register instructions, and three comments were received with respect to the Slot

Machine proposal. Upon review of the comments, the Committee made minor

changes to the Slot Machine proposal that did not warrant republication. The

Court did not publish the proposals after they were filed.

      Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments submitted to

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

Committee except as noted otherwise, and authorize the amended jury instructions

for publication and use.

      New standard jury instruction 11.19 (Sexual Misconduct Between Detention

Facility Employees and Inmates) is authorized as proposed except that the citations

for the definitions of “County detention facility,” “County residential probation

                                        -2-
center,” and “Municipal detention facility,” are revised to reference the correct

statutes. In addition, the definition of “Municipal detention facility” is revised to

include in pertinent part, “a violation of municipal laws or ordinances.”

      The new and amended instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this

opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use.1 New language is indicated

by underlining, and deleted language is indicated 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 additional or alternative instructions nor contesting the legal

correctness of the instructions. We further caution all interested parties that any

comments associated with the instructions reflect only the opinion of the

Committee and are not necessarily indicative 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.

LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON,
and PERRY, JJ., concur.

       1. 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 instructions 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.

                                         -3-
THE FILING OF A MOTION FOR REHEARING SHALL NOT ALTER THE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE AMENDMENTS.

                                 APPENDIX

           6.1 INTRODUCTION TO ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

      Read in all attempted murder and attempted manslaughter by act cases.
      In this case (defendant) is accused of (crime charged).

       Give degrees as applicable.
       Attempted murder in the first degree includes the lesser crimes of
attempted murder in the second degree, attempted murder in the third
degree, and attempted voluntary manslaughter by act, all of which are forms
of attempted homicide and all of which are unlawful.

      An attempted killing homicide that is excusable or was committed by
the use of justifiable deadly force is lawful.

      If you find that there was an attempted killing homicide of (victim) by
(defendant), you will then consider the circumstances surrounding the
attempted killing homicide in deciding if whether it was attempted first degree
murder, or attempted second degree murder, or attempted third degree
murder, or attempted voluntary manslaughter by act, or whether the
attempted killing homicide was excusable or resulted from justifiable use of
deadly force.

                 JUSTIFIABLE ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

      The An attempted killing homicide of a human being is justifiable and
lawful if necessarily done while resisting an attempt to murder or commit a
felony upon the defendant, or to commit a felony in any dwelling house in
which the defendant was at the time of the attempted killing homicide.

                 EXCUSABLE ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

      The An attempted killing homicide of a human being is excusable and
therefore lawful under any one of the three following circumstances:

      1.    When the attempted killing homicide is committed by accident
            and misfortune in doing any lawful act by lawful means with
            usual ordinary caution and without any unlawful intent, or

                                     -5-
      2.    When the attempted killing homicide occurs by accident and
            misfortune in the heat of passion, upon any sudden and sufficient
            provocation, or

      3.    When the attempted killing homicide is committed by accident
            and misfortune resulting from a sudden combat, if a dangerous
            weapon is not used and the attempted killing is not done in a cruel
            and unusual manner.

    Definition
    “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.

       I now instruct you on the circumstances that must be proved before
defendant may be found guilty of [attempted first degree murder] [or]
[attempted second degree murder] [or] attempted manslaughter by act or any
lesser included crime.

                                  Comment

      This instruction was adopted in 1994 and amended in 2014.

10.20 [CARE] [CUSTODY] [POSSESSION] [CONTROL] OF [A FIREARM]
   [AMMUNITION] WHILE A FINAL INJUNCTION FOR [DOMESTIC
      VIOLENCE] [STALKING] [CYBERSTALKING] IS IN EFFECT
                       § 790.233(1), Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of (crime charged), the State must prove the
following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.    A judge issued a final injunction for protection against [domestic
            violence] [stalking] [cyberstalking] against (defendant).

      2.    The final injunction had been served upon (defendant) or
            (defendant) had acknowledged receipt.

      3.    While the final injunction was in force and effect, (defendant) had
            [ammunition] [a firearm] in [his] [her] care, custody, possession,
            or control.

                                     -6-
       Definitions. Give as applicable.
       Fla. Stat. § 790.001(6).
       “Firearm” means any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is
designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of
an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any firearm muffler
or firearm silencer; any destructive device; any machine gun. [The term
“firearm” does not include an antique firearm unless the antique firearm is
used in the commission of a crime.] See Fla. Stat. § 790.001(1) for the definition
of antique firearm.

        Fla. Stat. § 790.001(4)
        “Destructive device” means any bomb, grenade, mine, rocket, missile,
pipebomb, or similar device containing an explosive, incendiary, or poison gas
and includes any frangible container filled with an explosive, incendiary,
explosive gas, or expanding gas, which is designed or so constructed as to
explode by such filler and is capable of causing bodily harm or property
damage; any combination of parts either designed or intended for use in
converting any device into a destructive device and from which a destructive
device may be readily assembled; any device declared a destructive device by
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; any type of weapon which
will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the
action of any explosive and which has a barrel with a bore of one-half inch or
more in diameter; and ammunition for such destructive devices, but not
including shotgun shells or any other ammunition designed for use in a
firearm other than a destructive device.

      “Destructive device” does not include:
        a. A device which is not designed, redesigned, used, or intended for
           use as a weapon;

         b. Any device, although originally designed as a weapon, which is
            redesigned so that it may be used solely as a signaling, line-
            throwing, safety, or similar device;

         c. Any shotgun other than a short-barreled shotgun; or

         d. Any nonautomatic rifle (other than a short-barreled rifle)
            generally recognized or particularly suitable for use for the
            hunting of big game.

                                       -7-
      Fla. Stat. § 790.001(19)
      “Ammunition” means an object consisting of all of the following:

         a. A fixed metallic or nonmetallic hull or casing containing a primer;
         b. One or more projectiles, one or more bullets, or shot;
         c. Gunpowder.

      “Care” and “custody” mean immediate charge and control exercised by
a person over the named item. The terms care, custody, and control may be
used interchangeably.

      Possession.
      There are two ways to exercise control: 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.

      Give if applicable.
      In 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.

                                      -8-
      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.
    Exclusive control. Henderson v. State, 88 So. 3d 1060 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012);
Meme v. State, 72 So. 3d 254 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011).
     If you find that (defendant):

      a. had direct physical custody of the [ammunition] [firearm], or

      b. was within ready reach of the [ammunition] [ firearm] and the
         [ammunition] [firearm] was under [his] [her] control, or

      c. had exclusive control of the place where the [ammunition] [firearm]
         was located, you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence
         of the [ammunition] [ firearm] and had the ability to control [it]
         [them].

    you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the
[ammunition] [ firearm] and had the ability to control [it] [them].

      If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where
[ammunition] [a firearm] was located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had
knowledge of the presence of the [ammunition] [firearm] or the ability to
control [it] [them], in the absence of other incriminating evidence.

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

         private elementary school] [middle school] [secondary school] during
         school hours [or during the time of a sanctioned school activity].
       Self-defense.
       If you find that the defendant exhibited the [weapon] [firearm] [sword]
[sword cane] [electric weapon or device] [destructive device] in necessary self-
defense, you must find the defendant not guilty. Read instructions 3.6(f) and/or
3.6(g) as applicable.
      Definitions. Give as applicable.
      § 790.001(13) and § 790.115(1), Fla. Stats.
      “Weapon” means any dirk, knife, metallic knuckles, slungshot, billie,
tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, razor blade, box cutter, common
pocketknife, box cutter, or a deadly weapon, except a plastic knife or blunt-
bladed table knife.
       R.R. v. State, 826 So. 2d 465 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002); Cook v. Crosby, 914 So.
2d 490 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005).
       A “deadly weapon” is any instrument which will likely cause death or
great bodily harm when used in the ordinary and usual manner contemplated
by its design and construction. An object can be a deadly weapon if its sole
modern use is to cause great bodily harm. An object not designed for use as a
weapon may nonetheless be a deadly weapon if its use, intended use, or
threatened use by the defendant was in a manner likely to inflict death or
great bodily harm.

       § 790.001(6), Fla. Stat.
       “Firearm” means any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is
designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of
an explosive; the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any firearm muffler
or firearm silencer; any destructive device; any machine gun. [The term
“firearm” does not include an antique firearm unless the antique firearm is
used in the commission of a crime.] The definition of “antique firearm is in Fla.
Stat. § 790.001(1).
      § 790.001(14), Fla. Stat.
       “Electric weapon or device” means any device which, through the
application or use of electrical current, is designed, redesigned, used, or
intended to be used for offensive or defensive purposes, the destruction of life,
or the infliction of injury.

    11.14 FAILURE TO REGISTER AS BY A SEXUAL OFFENDER TO
           COMPLY WITH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
          (Initially Register, Report, or Provide Registration Items)
                         § 943.0435(2)(a)-(b), Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Failure to Register as by a Sexual Offender to
Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the following
three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

                                        - 12 -
            Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)
             a. is a sexual offender.

              b.   has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual offender; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual offender status an element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual offender”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) [established] [maintained] a permanent, temporary,
            or transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

      Give 3a, 3b, 3c, or 3d as applicable.

         3. (Defendant)

              a.   knowingly failed to register in person at an office of the
                   sheriff of (name of county) County within 48 hours after
                   establishing permanent, temporary, or transient residence
                   within this state.

              b.   knowingly failed to report in person at an office of the
                   sheriff of (name of county) County within 48 hours after
                   being released from the [custody, control, or supervision of
                   the Florida Department of Corrections] [custody of a
                   private correctional facility].

              c.   knowingly failed to register in person at an office of the
                   sheriff of (name of county) County within 48 hours after
                   having been convicted by a court in that county of an
                   offense requiring registration.

                                        - 13 -
              d.   knowingly failed to provide an office of the sheriff of (name
                   of county) County with [his] [her] [(name the single
                   unprovided registration item charged, as worded in the statute)]
                   [any one or more of the following items: [his] [her] (name
                   the unprovided registration items charged, as worded in the

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure by a Sexual Offender to Comply
with Registration Requirements that (defendant) attempted to comply but was
misinformed or otherwise prevented from complying by the office of the
sheriff.

      There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise
prevented from registering, and the case law is silent as to (1) which party bears
the burden of persuasion of the affirmative defense and (2) the standard for the
burden of persuasion. Under the common law, defendants had both the burden of
production and the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense by a
preponderance of the evidence.
      The Florida Supreme Court has often decided, however, that once a
defendant meets the burden of production on an affirmative defense, the burden of
persuasion is on the State to disprove the affirmative defense beyond a reasonable
doubt (e.g., self-defense and consent to enter in a burglary prosecution). In the
absence of case law, trial judges must resolve the issue via a special instruction.
See the opinion in Dixon v. United States, 548 U.S. 1 (2006), for further guidance.

      If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
      If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the office of the sheriff misinformed [him] [her] or otherwise
prevented [him] [her] from complying with the registration requirements, you
should find [him] [her] not guilty. If the defendant did not prove (insert
appropriate burden of persuasion) that the office of the sheriff misinformed
[him] [her] or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying, you should

                                       - 14 -
find [him] [her] guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt.

       Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:
       If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
office of the sheriff did not misinform (defendant) or did not otherwise prevent
[him] [her] from complying with the registration requirements, you should
find (defendant) guilty, if all of the elements of the charge have been proven
beyond a reasonable doubt. However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the
issue of whether the office of the sheriff misinformed (defendant) or otherwise
prevented [him] [her] from complying with the registration requirements, you
should find [him] [her] not guilty.

                        § 943.0435(2)(b)1, Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Failure to Register as a Sexual Offender by a
Sexual Offender to Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must
prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)

              b.     has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                     as a sexual offender; therefore, you should consider the
                     sexual offender status element as proven by agreement of
                     the parties.
       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual offender”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) [established] [maintained] a permanent, temporary,
            or transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

      Give 3a or 3b as applicable.
         3. (Defendant)

              a.   uses as [his] [her] place of residence a [motor vehicle]
                   [trailer] [mobile home] [manufactured home];

                   and

                   knowingly failed to provide an office of the sheriff of (name
                   of county) County with [the (name the single unprovided

                   [motor vehicle] [trailer] [mobile home] [manufactured
                   home] where [he] [she] resides.

              b.   uses as [his] [her] place of residence a [vessel] [live-aboard
                   vessel] [houseboat];

                   and

                   knowingly failed to provide an office of the sheriff of (name
                   of county) County with [the (name the single unprovided

  (Failure to Report Change of Residence to Another State or Jurisdiction)
                          § 943.0435(7), Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Failure to Report Change of Address as by a
Sexual Offender to Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must
prove the following [four] [five] elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual offender.

              b.   has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual offender; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual offender status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual offender”
or “convicted.”

                                        - 27 -
         2. (Defendant) [established] [maintained] a permanent, temporary,

         3. (Defendant) intended to leave this State to establish residence in
            another state or jurisdiction on (date).

      Give element 4 or 5, or both, as applicable.
         4. (Defendant) knowingly failed to report in person to an office of the
            sheriff in the county of [his] [her] current residence within 48
            hours before the date on which [he] [she] intended to leave this
            state to establish residence in another state or jurisdiction.

           5. (Defendant) knowingly failed to provide the address, municipality,
               county, and state of [his] [her] intended address, when [he] [she]
               reported to the sheriff’s office of the county of [his] [her] current
               residence [his] [her] intention to establish residence in another
               state or jurisdiction.

prevented [him] [her] from complying with the registration requirements, you

         3. (Defendant) indicated to an office of the sheriff of (name of county)
            County [his] [her] intent to leave this state on (date of intended
            departure) and establish a permanent, temporary, or transient
            residence in another state or jurisdiction.

         4. (Defendant) later decided to remain in this state.

         5. Within 48 hours after the date of [his] [her] originally intended

                           Department of Corrections)
                             § 775.21(6)(b), Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator, the State
must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
      1.    (Defendant)

             a.    is a sexual predator.

             b.    has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

      2.     (Defendant) is [in the custody or control of the Department of
             Corrections] [under the supervision of the Department of
             Corrections] [in the custody of a private correctional

                                        - 35 -
             facility][under the supervision of the Department of Corrections,
             but not incarcerated].

      3.     (Defendant) [knowingly failed to register with the Department of
             Corrections as a sexual predator][knowingly failed to register
             with the Department of Corrections within 3 days of having been
             classified as a sexual predator].

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator
that (defendant) attempted to register as required by law but was misinformed
or otherwise prevented from timely registering by the Department of
Corrections.

      There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise
prevented from registering, and the case law is silent as to (1) which party bears
the burden of persuasion of the affirmative defense and (2) the standard for the
burden of persuasion. Under the common law, defendants had both the burden of
production and the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense by a
preponderance of the evidence.
      The Florida Supreme Court has often decided, however, that once a
defendant meets the burden of production on an affirmative defense, the burden of
persuasion is on the State to disprove the affirmative defense beyond a reasonable
doubt (e.g., self-defense and consent to enter in a burglary prosecution). In the
absence of case law, trial judges must resolve the issue via a special instruction.
See the opinion in Dixon v. United States, 548 U.S. 1 (2006), for further guidance.

      If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
       If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the Department of Corrections misinformed [him] [her] or
otherwise prevented [him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her]
not guilty. If the defendant did not prove (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the Department of Corrections misinformed [him] [her] or
otherwise prevented [him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her]
guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt.

      Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:

                                       - 36 -
       If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
Department of Corrections did not misinform (defendant) or did not otherwise
prevent [him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her] guilty, if all
of the elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt. However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the
Department of Corrections misinformed (defendant) or otherwise prevented
[him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her] not guilty.

       11.15(a) FAILURE TO REGISTER AS A SEXUAL PREDATOR
   (Initially Register – Not in Custody, Control or under Supervision of the
         Department of Corrections or a Private Correctional Facility)
                             § 775.21(6)(e), Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator, the State
must prove the following four elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.

         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual predator.

             b.    has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

      If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If

                                       - 37 -
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) established or maintained a permanent, temporary, or
            transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

         3. (Defendant) was not in the custody or control of or under the
            supervision of the Department of Corrections and was not in the
            custody of a private correctional facility.

Give 4a or 4b or 4a and 4b, as appropriate.

          4(a). (Defendant) knowingly failed to register in person with an office
         of the sheriff in the county where [he] [she] [established]
         [maintained] residence within 48 hours after [he] [she] established
         permanent, temporary, or transient residence in this state.

         4(b). (Defendant) knowingly failed to register in person with an office
         of the sheriff in the county where [he] [she] was designated a sexual
         predator within 48 hours after having been so designated by the
         court.

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure to Register as a Sexual Predator

       If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
        If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the office of the sheriff misinformed [him] [her] or otherwise
prevented [him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her] not guilty.
If the defendant did not prove (insert appropriate burden of persuasion) that the
office of the sheriff misinformed [him] [her] or otherwise prevented [him]
[her] from registering, you should find [him] [her] guilty if all the elements of
the charge have been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

       Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:
       If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
office of the sheriff did not misinform (defendant) or did not otherwise prevent
[him] [her] from registering, you should find [him] [her] guilty, if all of the
elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the office of
the sheriff misinformed (defendant) or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from
registering, you should find [him] [her] not guilty.

       with Registration RequirementsProvide Required Information)
                          § 775.21(6)(a)1, Fla. Stat.

      The defendant shall provide a physical residential address. A post office
box shall not be provided in lieu of a physical residential address.

  11.15(d) FAILURE TO REGISTER AS BY A SEXUAL PREDATOR TO
           COMPLY WITH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
            (Failure to Comply with Registration of Enrollment or
              Employment in Institutions of Higher Education)
                          § 775.21(6)(a)1.b., Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Failure to Register as by a Sexual Predator to
Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the following
three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual predator.

              b.   has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the Court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) [established] [maintained] a permanent, temporary,
            or transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

      Give 3a, 3b, or 3c as applicable.
         3. (Defendant)

              a.   [is] [was] enrolled, employed, or carrying on a
                   vocation at an institution of higher education in this
                   state, and

                   more of the following items: (name the unprovided
                   registration items charged, as worded in the statute)].

              b.   [is] [was] enrolled, employed, or carrying on a vocation at
                   an institution of higher education in this state;

                   undertook a change in [his] [her] enrollment or employment
                   status, and

                   knowingly failed to report this change in person at an office
                   of the sheriff of (name of county) County within 48 hours
                   after the change.

              c.   [is] [was] in the custody of or under the supervision of the
                   Department of Corrections;

                   [is] [was] enrolled, employed, or carrying on a vocation at
                   an institution of higher education in this state;
                   undertook a change in [his] [her] enrollment or employment
                   status, and

                   knowingly failed to report this change to the Department of
                   Corrections within 48 hours after the change.

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure by a Sexual Predator to Comply
with Registration Requirements that (defendant) attempted to comply with the
requirements but was misinformed or otherwise prevented from complying by
the [office of the sheriff] [Department of Corrections].

      There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise
prevented from registering, and the case law is silent as to (1) which party bears
the burden of persuasion of the affirmative defense and (2) the standard for the
burden of persuasion. Under the common law, defendants had both the burden of

                                       - 46 -
production and the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense by a
preponderance of the evidence.
      The Florida Supreme Court has often decided, however, that once a
defendant meets the burden of production on an affirmative defense, the burden of
persuasion is on the State to disprove the affirmative defense beyond a reasonable
doubt (e.g., self-defense and consent to enter in a burglary prosecution). In the
absence of case law, trial judges must resolve the issue via a special instruction.
See the opinion in Dixon v. United States, 548 U.S. 1 (2006), for further guidance.

       If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
        If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the [office of the sheriff][Department of Corrections]
misinformed [him] [her] or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying
with the registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] not guilty. If
the defendant did not prove (insert appropriate burden of persuasion) that the
[office of the sheriff] [Department of Corrections] misinformed [him] [her] or
otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying, you should find [him] [her]
guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt.

       Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:
       If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
[office of the sheriff] [Department of Corrections]did not misinform
(defendant) or did not otherwise prevent [him] [her] from complying with the
registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] guilty, if all of the
elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the office of
the sheriff misinformed (defendant) or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from
complying with the registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] not
guilty.

  11.15(e) FAILURE TO REGISTER AS BY A SEXUAL PREDATOR TO
           COMPLY WITH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
  (Failure to Report to Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles)
                           § 775.21(6)(f), Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Failure Failure to Register as by a Sexual
Predator to Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the
following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual predator.

              b.   has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) [established] [maintained] a [permanent] [temporary]
            [transient] residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

      Give 3a or 3b as applicable.
         3. (Defendant)

              a.   was not incarcerated;

                                        - 48 -
                   [he] [she] resided in the community and was [under the
                   supervision] [not under the supervision] of the Department
                   of Corrections;

                   [he] [she] registered as a sexual predator with an office of
                   the sheriff of (name of county) County; and

                   knowingly failed to report in person at a driver’s license
                   office of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor
                   Vehicles within 48 hours after registering to present proof
                   of this registration.

              b.   reported in person to a driver’s license office of the
                   Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles,
                   and either
                   knowingly failed to [secure a Florida driver’s license]
                   [renew a Florida driver’s license] [secure an
                   identification card] or
                   secured a Florida driver’s license] [renewed [his] [her]
                   Florida driver’s license] [secured a Florida identification
                   card], but in doing so,

                   Give one or both of the following as applicable to the charge.

                   i.    failed to report to that office that [he] [she] was a
                         sexual predator.

                   ii.   failed to provide that office with [(name the single
                         unprovided registration item charged, as worded in the
                         statute)] [any one or more of the following items:
                         (name the unprovided registration items charged, as
                         worded in the statute)].

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure by a Sexual Predator to Comply
with Registration Requirements that (defendant) attempted to comply withn
the requirements but was misinformed or otherwise prevented from
complying by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

                                       - 49 -
      There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise

absence of case law, trial judges must resolve the issue via a special instruction.
See the opinion in Dixon v. United States, 548 U.S. 1 (2006), for further guidance.

      If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
       If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
misinformed [him] [her] or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying
with the registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] not guilty. If
the defendant did not prove (insert appropriate burden of persuasion) that the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles misinformed [him] [her]
or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying, you should find [him]
[her] guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proven beyond a
reasonable doubt.

      Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:
      If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles did not misinform
(defendant) or did not otherwise prevent [him] [her] from complying with the
registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] guilty, if all of the
elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the
Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles misinformed (defendant)
or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying with the registration
requirements, you should find [him] [her] not guilty.

                             Law Enforcement)
                          § 775.21(6)(a)2, Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Failure to Register as by a Sexual Predator to
Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the following
three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.
         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual predator.

              b.   has agreed or stipulated that [he] [she] has been convicted
                   as a sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) established or maintained a permanent, temporary, or
            transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

         3. (Defendant) knowingly failed to provide an office of the sheriff of

             Florida Department of Law Enforcement: [his] [her] (name the
             unprovided registration items charged, as worded in the statute)].

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.

                                       - 56 -
                   sexual predator status element as proven by agreement of
                   the parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after
conducting an on-the-record colloquy with the defendant. See Brown v. State, 719
So. 2d 882 (Fla. 1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So. 2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). If
there is a stipulation, the court should not give the definition of “sexual predator”
or “convicted.”

         2. (Defendant) established or maintained a permanent, temporary, or
            transient residence in (name of county) County, Florida.

         3. (Defendant) knowingly failed to respond to address verification
            correspondence from the Florida Department of Law
            Enforcement within three weeks from the date of the
            correspondence.

       Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v.
State, 108 So. 3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 2013).
       It is a defense to the crime of Failure by a Sexual Predator to Comply
with Registration Requirements that (defendant) attempted to comply with the
requirements but was misinformed or otherwise prevented from complying by
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

      There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise
prevented from registering, and the case law is silent as to (1) which party bears
the burden of persuasion of the affirmative defense and (2) the standard for the
burden of persuasion. Under the common law, defendants had both the burden of
production and the burden of persuasion on an affirmative defense by a
preponderance of the evidence.
      The Florida Supreme Court has often decided, however, that once a
defendant meets the burden of production on an affirmative defense, the burden of
persuasion is on the State to disprove the affirmative defense beyond a reasonable
doubt (e.g., self-defense and consent to enter in a burglary prosecution). In the
absence of case law, trial judges must resolve the issue via a special instruction.
See the opinion in Dixon v. United States, 548 U.S. 1 (2006), for further guidance.

      If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:
       If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of
persuasion) that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement misinformed

                                        - 57 -
[him] [her] or otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying with the
registration requirements, you should find [him] [her] not guilty. If the
defendant did not prove (insert appropriate burden of persuasion) that the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement misinformed [him] [her] or
otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying, you should find [him] [her]
guilty if all the elements of the charge have been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt.

        Or, if the burden of disproving the affirmative defense is on the State under
the beyond a reasonable standard:
        If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not misinform (defendant) or did
not otherwise prevent [him] [her] from complying with the registration
requirements, as worded in the statute)], you should find [him] [her] guilty, if
all of the elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable
doubt. However, if you have a reasonable doubt on the issue of whether the
Florida Department of Law Enforcement misinformed (defendant) or
otherwise prevented [him] [her] from complying, you should find [him] [her]
not guilty.

      To prove the crime of Failure to Register as by a Sexual Predator to
Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the following
three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

         1. (Defendant)

              a.   is a sexual predator.

             b.    has agreed or stipulated that he has been convicted as a
                   sexual predator; therefore, you should consider the sexual
                   predator status element as proven by agreement of the
                   parties.

       If the defendant offers to stipulate, the court must accept the offer after

                   48 hours before the date on which [he] [she] intended to
                   leave this state to establish residence in another state or
                   jurisdiction.

                             § 775.21(6)(j), Fla. Stat.
       To prove the crime of Failure to Register as by a Sexual Predator to
Comply with Registration Requirements, the State must prove the following
five elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a or 1b as applicable.

         1. (Defendant)

                           § 817.545(2) & (5), Fla. Stat.

       In order to prove the crime of Mortgage Fraud, the State must prove
the following element beyond a reasonable doubt:

  (Defendant), with intent to defraud, knowingly:

          Give a, b, c, d, and/or e as applicable.
          a. made any material [misstatement] [misrepresentation] [omission]
             during the mortgage lending process with the intent that the
             [misstatement] [misrepresentation] [omission] would be relied on
             by [a mortgage lender] [a borrower] [or] [any other person or
             entity] involved in the mortgage lending process];
          b. used or facilitated the use of any material [misstatement]
             [misrepresentation] [omission] during the mortgage lending
             process with the intent that the material [misstatement]
             [misrepresentation] [omission] would be relied on by [a mortgage
             lender][a borrower] or [any other person or entity] involved in the
             mortgage lending process;
          c. received any [proceeds] [or other funds] in connection with the
             mortgage lending process that [he] [she] knew resulted from the
             making of any material [misstatement] [misrepresentation]
             [omission] during the mortgage lending process that was made
             with the intent that the [misstatement] [misrepresentation]

                                       - 68 -
            [omission] would be relied on by [a mortgage lender] [a borrower]
            [or] [any other person or entity] involved in the mortgage lending
            process];
         d. received any [proceeds] [or other funds] in connection with the
            mortgage lending process that [he] [she] knew resulted from the
            use of any material [misstatement] [misrepresentation] [omission]
            during the mortgage lending process that was made with the
            intent that the material [misstatement] [misrepresentation]
            [omission] would be relied on by [a mortgage lender] [a borrower]
            or [any other person or entity] involved in the mortgage lending
            process];
         e. filed or caused to be filed with the clerk of the circuit court for
            any Florida county a document involved in the mortgage lending
            process which contained a material [misstatement]
            [misrepresentation] [or] [omission].
      Give if applicable. § 817.545(5)(b), Fla. Stat.
      If you find that the defendant guilty of Mortgage Fraud, you must also
determine if the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the loan
value stated on documents used in the mortgage lending process exceeded
$100,000.

      § 817.545(2)(a) & (b), Fla. Stat.
      Omissions on a loan application regarding employment, income, or
assets for a loan which does not require this information are not considered
material omissions for purposes of Mortgage Fraud.

      § 817.545(1), Fla. Stat.
      Documents involved in the mortgage lending process include, but are
not limited to, mortgages, deeds, surveys, inspection reports, uniform
residential loan applications, or other loan applications; appraisal reports;
HUD-1 settlement statements; supporting personal documentation for loan
applications such as W-2 forms, verifications of income and employment,
credit reports, bank statements, tax returns, and payroll stubs; and any
required disclosures.

      § 817.545(1), Fla. Stat.
      “Mortgage lending process” means the process through which a person
seeks or obtains a residential mortgage loan, including, but not limited to, the

                                     - 69 -
solicitation, application or origination, negotiation of terms, third-party
provider services, underwriting, signing and closing, and funding of the loan.

      “Knowingly” means that the defendant is aware of the act and is not
acting through ignorance, mistake or accident.

      “Material” means a fact a reasonable person would use to decide
whether to do or not to do something. A fact is material if it has the capacity
or natural tendency to influence a person’s decision. Any misrepresentation
or concealment must be reasonably calculated to deceive persons of ordinary
prudence and comprehension.

      It is not necessary for the State to prove that the slot machine or device was
used for gambling. See Eccles v. Stone, 183 So. 628 (Fla. 1938); Dept. of Business
Regulation v. Rains, 477 So. 2d 1029 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985).

      It is a defense to Possession of a Slot Machine if the device is an antique slot
machine and is not being used for gambling. An antique slot machine is one which
was manufactured at least 20 years prior to the prosecution. See § 849.235, Fla.
Stat.
