  IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES—
                     REPORT 2018-09.

                                  January 4, 2019

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.

      On October 16, 2018, the Committee filed a report proposing amendments to

the standard criminal jury instructions. The Committee’s proposals pertain to the

following existing instructions: 7.8 (Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter);

7.9 (Vehicular or Vessel Homicide); 16.12 (Leaving a Child Unattended or

Unsupervised in a Motor Vehicle); 28.1 (Driving Under the Influence); 28.1(a)

(Driving Under the Influence Causing Property Damage or Injury); 28.2 (Felony

Driving Under the Influence); 28.3 (Driving Under the Influence Causing Serious
Bodily Injury); 28.4 (Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving [Death] [Serious

Bodily Injury] [Injury]); 28.4(a) (Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Only

Damage to an Attended Vehicle or Attended Property); 28.4(b) (Leaving the Scene

of a Crash Involving Damage to an Unattended Vehicle or Unattended Property);

28.5 (Reckless Driving); 28.5(a) (Racing on a Highway); 28.6 (Fleeing to Elude a

Law Enforcement Officer); 28.7 (Fleeing to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer

(Sirens and Lights Activated)); 28.8 (Fleeing to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer

(Siren and Lights Activated with High Speed or Reckless Driving)); 28.8(a)

(Fleeing to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer (Siren and Lights Activated with

High Speed or Reckless Driving Causing Serious Bodily Injury or Death)); 28.8(b)

(Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding (Leaving a Crash Involving Serious Bodily Injury,

Injury or Death then Causing Serious Bodily Injury or Death)); 28.8(c)

(Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding (Leaving a Crash Involving Damage to a Vehicle

or Property then Causing Serious Bodily Injury or Death)); 28.8(d) (Aggravated

Fleeing or Eluding (Leaving a Crash Involving Serious Bodily Injury, Injury or

Death then Causing Injury or Property Damage to Another)); 28.8(e) (Aggravated

Fleeing or Eluding (Leaving a Crash Involving Damage to a Vehicle or Property

then Causing Injury or Property Damage to Another)); 28.13 (Refusal to Submit to

Testing); and 28.18 (Failure to Obey the Lawful Order of a [Police] [Fire] [Traffic]

Official).

                                        -2-
      Following publication in The Florida Bar News, the Committee received one

comment pertaining to the addition of the terms “personal delivery devices” and

“mobile carriers” to the definition of “vehicle.” In response, the Committee added

the following sentence to the italicized note preceding the definition from section

316.003(99), Florida Statutes (2018): “Some of these terms have their own

statutory definitions, which should be given if necessary.” Both terms are further

defined in section 316.003. See § 316.003(39); § 316.003(53), Fla. Stat. (2018).

      We authorize the proposed amendments to the instructions for publication

and use as proposed and with any modifications discussed below, and discuss the

more significant amendments to the instructions as well.

      Instructions 7.8, 28.1, 28.1(a), 28.3, 28.4, 28.4(a), 28.4(b), 28.5, 28.6, 28.7,

28.8, 28.8(a), 28.8(b), 28.8(c), 28.8(d), 28.8(e), and 28.18 update the definition of

“vehicle” to include as exceptions “personal delivery devices” and “mobile

carriers.” Those same instructions, as well as 7.9, 16.12, 28.2, and 28.5(a), add the

italicized sentence “Some of these terms have their own statutory definitions,

which should be given if necessary” above the definitions for “vehicle” or “motor

vehicle.”

      Next, we update the definition of “motor vehicle” to delete “motorcycle”

and to add as exceptions “mobile carrier” and “personal delivery device” to

instructions 16.12, 28.5, 28.5(a), and 28.13.

                                         -3-
      In addition, in instructions 28.8(b) and 28.8(d), we add the following

italicized trial note and instruction pertaining to whether the defendant caused the

victim’s injury or death as part of aggravated fleeing or eluding:

            Give if it is alleged in the charging document that the defendant
      caused victim injury or death as part of violating § 316.027, Fla. Stat.
      § 921.0021(7)(e), Fla. Stat.
            If you find that (defendant) committed Aggravated Fleeing,
      you must then determine whether the State proved beyond a
      reasonable doubt that [he] [she] caused [death] [or] [severe
      injury] [or] [moderate injury] [or] [slight injury] to (victim).

      Lastly, on the Court’s own motion, we change the statutory citation for

“vessel” in instruction 7.9 to cite to the correct statutory definition, section

327.02(46), Florida Statutes, see ch. 2017-163, § 2, Laws of Fla., and add the

sentence “Some of these terms have their own statutory definitions which should

be given if necessary” in the italicized note above the definition for “vehicle” in

instruction 28.1(a) to be consistent with the other amended instructions.

      Having considered the Committee’s report, we authorize the amended

instructions as set forth in the appendix to this opinion for publication and use.1

New language is indicated by underlining, and deleted language is indicated by

       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.

                                          -4-
struck-through type. We 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. 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. The instructions as set forth in

       7.8 DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE MANSLAUGHTER
               §§ 316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3., Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Driving uUnder the Influence Manslaughter, the
State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.    (Defendant) drove [or was in actual physical control of] a vehicle.

      2.    While driving [or in actual physical control of] the vehicle,
            (defendant)

      Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
            a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a chemical
                  substance] [a controlled substance] to the extent that [his]
                  [her] normal faculties were impaired.

            b.    had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more grams of
                  alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210 liters of breath].

      3.    As a result of operating the vehicle, (defendant) caused or
            contributed to the cause of the death of [(victim)] [an unborn
            child].

      Give if §§ 316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3.b., Fla. Stat., is charged.
      If you find the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder the Influence
Manslaughter, you must further determine whether the State proved beyond
a reasonable doubt that:

            (Defendant), at the time of the crash,

            a.    knew or should have known that the crash occurred

            and

            b.    failed to give information as required by law

            and

                                      -6-
            c.    failed to render aid as required by law.

      Florida law requires that the driver of any vehicle involved in a crash
resulting in injury to or death of any person, or damage to any vehicle or
other property which is driven or attended by any person, must supply [his]
[her] name, address, and the registration number of the vehicle [he] [she] is
driving to any person injured in the crash or to the driver or occupant of or
person attending any vehicle or other property damaged in the crash. Upon
request and if available, the driver shall also exhibit [his] [her] license or
permit to drive.

       The driver shall give the same information and, upon request, exhibit
his or her license or permit, to any police officer who is at the scene of the
crash or who is investigating the crash.

      The driver shall also render reasonable assistance to any person
injured in the crash, including carrying, or the making of arrangements for
the carrying, of such person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital for medical or
surgical treatment if it is apparent that treatment is necessary, or if such
carrying is requested by the injured person.

      In the event none of the persons specified above are in condition to
receive the information to which they otherwise would be entitled, and no
police officer is present, the driver of a vehicle involved in the crash, after
trying to fulfill the requirements listed above as much as possible, shall
immediately report the crash to the nearest office of a duly authorized police
authority and supply the information specified above.

      Give if applicable. § 316.193(4), Fla. Stat.
      If you find the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder the Influence
Manslaughter, you must also determine whether the State has proven beyond
a reasonable doubt whether:

            a.    the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .15 or
                  higher while driving [or in actual physical control of] the
                  vehicle.

                                      -7-
            b.     the defendant was accompanied in the vehicle by a person
                   under the age of 18 years at the time of the Driving uUnder
                   the Influence.

       Definitions. Give as applicable.
       § 316.003(959), Fla. Stat. Some of these terms have their own statutory
definitions, which should be given if necessary.
       “Vehicle” is every device in, upon, or by which any person or property
is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway[, except personal delivery
devices, mobile carriers, and devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or
tracks].

      § 316.1934(1), Fla. Stat.
      “Normal faculties” include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear,
walk, talk, judge distances, drive an automobile, make judgments, act in
emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and
physical acts of our daily lives.

      Shaw v. State, 783 So. 2d 1097 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001).
      “Impaired” means diminished in some material respect.

      Give if applicable.
      The option of “on a vehicle” pertains to vehicles such as motorcycles and
bicycles.
      “Actual physical control of a vehicle” means the defendant must be
physically in [or on] the vehicle and have the capability to operate the vehicle,
regardless of whether [he] [she] is actually operating the vehicle at the time.

      § 322.01(2), Fla. Stat.
      “Alcoholic beverages” are considered to be substances of any kind and
description which contain alcohol.

      § 877.111(1), Fla. Stat.
      (____________) is a chemical substance under Florida law.

      Chapter 893, Fla. Stat.
      (___________) is a controlled substance under Florida law.

      § 775.021(5), Fla. Stat.

                                      -8-
      An “unborn child” means a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any
stage of development, and who is carried in the womb.

       Give if applicable. § 775.021(5)(b), Fla. Stat.
       Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter does not require the State to
prove that the defendant knew or should have known that (victim) was
pregnant or that the defendant intended to cause the death of the unborn
child.

      Give if appropriate. § 316.1934(2)(a) and (2)(b), Fla. Stat.
      1.     If you find from the evidence that while driving [or in actual
             physical control of] a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or
             breath-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall presume that the
             defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
             the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired; but this
             presumption may be overcome by other evidence demonstrating
             that the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages
             to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

      2.     If you find from the evidence that while driving [or in actual
             physical control of] a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or
             breath-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than .08, that fact
             does not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or
             was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent
             that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired. In such cases, you
             may consider that evidence along with other evidence in
             determining whether the defendant was under the influence of
             alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties
             were impaired.

       It is not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment”
in § 316.1934(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with driving with
a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that
the defendant drove with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment
becomes moot. Tyner v. State, 805 So. 2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

     Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
     It is a defense to the charge of Driving uUnder the Influence
Manslaughter if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable.
However, it is not a defense if the defendant was driving under the influence

                                         -9-
before the vehicle became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time of the
alleged offense, you should find the defendant not guilty. However, if you are
convinced that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, then
you should find the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of the charge
have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

      This instruction was adopted in 1981 and amended in 1985 [477 So. 2d 985],
1987 [508 So. 2d 1221], 1992 [603 So. 2d 1175], 1995 [665 So. 2d 212], 1998

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

     To prove the crime of [Vehicular] [Vessel] Homicide, the State must
prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

     Give 1a, 1b, or 1c as applicable. Element 1a applies to either Vehicular
Homicide or Vessel Homicide. Element 1b applies to Vehicular Homicide only.
Element 1c applies to Vessel Homicide only. See § 775.021(5), Fla. Stat.

                                     - 10 -
      1.    a. (Victim) is dead.
            b. An unborn child is dead by injury to the mother.

            c. An unborn child is dead.

      2.    The death was caused by the operation of a [motor vehicle]
            [vessel] by (defendant).

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

     Wheeler v. State, 203 So. 3d 1007 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).
     “Great bodily harm” means great as distinguished from slight, trivial,
minor, or moderate harm, and as such does not include mere bruises.

      Luzardo v. State, 147 So. 3d 1083 (Fla. 3d DCA 2014).
      The State does not have to prove the defendant intended to harm or
injure anyone. However, the reckless operation of a [motor vehicle] [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. “Willful” means intentional, knowing and purposeful.
“Wanton” means with a conscious and intentional indifference to
consequences and with the knowledge that damage is likely to be done to
persons or property.

      Enhanced penalty. § 782.071(1)(b) or § 782.072(2), Fla. Stat. Give if
applicable.
      If you find the defendant guilty of [Vehicular] [Vessel] Homicide, you
must then determine whether the State has further proved beyond a
reasonable doubt that:

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

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

                                     - 11 -
      However, the State is not required to prove (defendant) knew that the
accident resulted in injury or death.

       Definitions. Applicable only to Vehicular Homicide.
       § 316.003(42), Fla. Stat. Some of these terms have their own statutory
definitions which should be given if necessary.
       A “motor vehicle” is a self-propelled vehicle not operated upon rails or
guideway[, but not including any bicycle, motorized scooter, electric personal
assistive mobility device, mobile carrier, personal delivery device, swamp
buggy, or moped].

      Give if applicable. § 782.071(2), Fla. Stat.
      An “unborn child” means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any
stage of development, who is carried in the womb.

     § 327.02(3946) Fla. 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.

      § 327.02(33), Fla. Stat. Applicable only to Vessel Homicide.
      “Operate” means to be in charge of, in command of, or in actual physical
control of a vessel upon the waters of this state, to exercise control over or to
have responsibility for a vessel’s navigation or safety while the vessel is
underway upon the waters of this state, or to control or steer a vessel being
towed by another vessel upon the waters of the state.

                                     - 12 -
      Culpable negligence is a Category Two lesser included offense of both
vehicular and vessel homicide.

       The decedent’s conduct may only be asserted as a defense to vehicular
homicide when that conduct could be viewed as the sole proximate cause of the
accident which resulted in the death or unless there is some reason why it would be
unjust or unfair to impose criminal liability. See Union v. State, 642 So. 2d 91, 94
(Fla. 1st DCA 1994); see also Miller v. State, 250 So. 3d 144 (Fla. 1st DCA 2018);

                         § 316.193(1), Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Driving uUnder the Influence, the State must
prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

     1.    (Defendant) drove [or was in actual physical control of] a
           vehicle.

     2.    While driving [or in actual physical control of] the vehicle,
           (defendant)

     Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
           a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a
                 chemical substance] [a controlled substance] to the
                 extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

           b.    had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more
                 grams of alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210
                 liters of breath].

     Give if applicable. § 316.193(4), Fla. Stat.
     If you find the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder the Influence, you
must also determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt
whether:

           a.    the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of
                 .15 or higher while driving [or in actual physical
                 control of] the vehicle.

           b.    the defendant was accompanied in the vehicle by a
                 person under the age of 18 years at the time of the
                 Driving uUnder the Influence.

definitions, which should be given if necessary.
       “Vehicle” is every device, in, upon or by which any person or property
is, or may be, transported or drawn upon a highway[, except personal delivery
devices, mobile carriers, and devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or
tracks].

      § 316.1934(1), Fla. Stat.
      Normal faculties include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear,

      Impaired means diminished in some material respect.

      Give if applicable.
      The option of “on a vehicle” pertains to vehicles such as motorcycles and
bicycles.
      Actual physical control of a vehicle means the defendant must be
physically in [or on] the vehicle and have the capability to operate the vehicle,
regardless of whether [he] [she] is actually operating the vehicle at the time.

      § 322.01(2), Fla. Stat.
      Alcoholic beverages are considered to be substances of any kind and
description which contain alcohol.

      (            ) is a controlled substance under Florida law. Ch. 893, Fla.

      Give if appropriate. § 316.1934(2)(a) and (2)(b), Fla. Stat.
      1.     If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
             physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a
             blood or breath-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall
             presume that the defendant was not under the influence of
             alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal
             faculties were impaired; but this presumption may be

                                      - 16 -
             overcome by other evidence demonstrating that the
             defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
             the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

      2.     If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
             physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a
             blood or breath-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than
             .08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the
             defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic
             beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were
             impaired. In such cases, you may consider that evidence
             along with other evidence in determining whether the
             defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
             the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

       It is not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment”
in § 316.1934(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with driving with
a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that
the defendant drove with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment
becomes moot. Tyner v. State, 805 So. 2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

      Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
      It is a defense to the charge of Driving uUnder the Influence if at the
time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable. However, it is not a
defense if the defendant was driving under the influence before the vehicle
became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not convinced beyond a reasonable
doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, you
should find the defendant not guilty. However, if you are convinced that the
vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, then you should find
the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of the charge have been proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.

       A misdemeanor instruction was adopted in 1981 as part of Standard Jury
Instructions In Misdemeanor Cases. In 1992, a similar instruction was adopted for
Florida Standard Jury Instructions In Criminal Cases. That instruction was
amended in 1995 and 1998; both instructions were merged into a revised
instruction in 2000, which was amended in 2009 [6 So. 3d 574], and 2016 [192 So.

      To prove the crime of Driving uUnder the Influence Causing [Property
Damage] [Injury], the State must prove the following three elements beyond a
reasonable doubt:

      1.    (Defendant) drove [or was in actual physical control of] a
            vehicle.

      2.    While driving [or in actual physical control of] the vehicle,
            (defendant)

      Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
            a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a
                  chemical substance] [a controlled substance] to the
                  extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

            b.     had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more
                   grams of alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210
                   liters of breath].

      3.    As a result of operating the vehicle, (defendant) caused or
            contributed to causing [damage to the property of (victim)]
            [injury to the person of (victim)].

      Give if applicable. § 316.193(4), Fla. Stat.

              blood or breath-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than
              .08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the
              defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic
              beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were
              impaired. In such cases, you may consider that evidence
              along with other evidence in determining whether the
              defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
              the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

       It is not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment”
in § 316.1934(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with driving with
a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that
the defendant drove with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment
becomes moot. Robertson v. State, 604 So. 2d 783, 792, n.14 (Fla. 1992); Tyner v.
State, 805 So. 2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

      Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
      It is a defense to the charge of Driving uUnder the Influence if at the
time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable. However, it is not a
defense if the defendant was driving under the influence before the vehicle
became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not convinced beyond a reasonable

                                        - 23 -
doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, you
should find the defendant not guilty. However, if you are convinced that the
vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, then you should find
the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of the charge have been proved
beyond a reasonable doubt.

       Give as applicable if the jury finds the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder
the Influence. Note: BUI and out-of-state DUI/DWI convictions count as prior
convictions. See §316.193(6)(k), Fla. Stat. See State v. Harbaugh, 754 So. 2d 691
(Fla. 2000).
       Now that you have found the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder the
Influence, you must further determine whether the State has proven beyond a
reasonable doubt whether:

            a.     the defendant was previously convicted two times of
                   Driving uUnder the Influence and one of the prior
                   Driving Under the Influence convictions took place
                   within 10 years of the Driving Under the Influence
                   that you found the defendant committed.

            b.     the defendant was previously convicted three times of
                   Driving uUnder the Influence.

      Give if applicable. 316.193(12), Fla. Stat.
      If the records of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
show that the defendant has been previously convicted of Driving uUnder the
Influence, you may conclude that the State has established that prior Driving
uUnder the Influence conviction. However, such evidence may be
contradicted or rebutted by other evidence. Accordingly, this inference may
be considered along with any other evidence in deciding whether the
defendant has a prior Driving uUnder the Influence conviction.

       This instruction should be used for Felony Driving uUnder the Influence
based on prior convictions. For Felony Driving uUnder the Influence based on
prior convictions, it is error to inform the jury of prior Driving uUnder the
Influence/Boating uUnder the Influence convictions until the verdict on the
underlying Driving uUnder the Influence is rendered. Therefore, if the information
or indictment contains an allegation of prior Driving uUnder the Influence/Boating
uUnder the Influence convictions, do not read that allegation and do not send the
information or indictment into the jury room. If the defendant is found guilty of
Driving uUnder the Influence, the historical fact of prior convictions shall be
determined separately by the jury in a bifurcated proceeding. See State v.
Harbaugh, 754 So. 2d 691 (Fla. 2000).

            28.3 DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE CAUSING
                       SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
                      § 316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)2., Fla. Stat.

                                      - 25 -
      To prove the crime of Driving uUnder the Influence Causing Serious
Bodily Injury, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a
reasonable doubt:

      1.    (Defendant) drove [or was in actual physical control of] a
            vehicle.

      2.    While driving [or in actual physical control of] the vehicle,
            (defendant)

      Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
            a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a
                  chemical substance] [a controlled substance] to the
                  extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

            b.    had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more
                  grams of alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210
                  liters of breath].

      3.    As a result of operating the vehicle, (defendant) caused or
            contributed to causing serious bodily injury to (victim).

     Give if applicable. § 316.193(4), Fla. Stat.
     If you find the defendant guilty of Driving uUnder the Influence, you
must also determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt
whether:

            a.    the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of
                  0.15 or higher while driving [or in actual physical
                  control of] the vehicle.

            b.    the defendant was accompanied in the vehicle by a
                  person under the age of 18 years at the time of the
                  Driving uUnder the Influence.

       Definitions. Give as applicable.
       § 316.003(7599), Fla. Stat. Some of these terms have their own statutory
definitions, which should be given if necessary.
       “Vehicle” is every device, in, upon or by which any person or property
is, or may be, transported or drawn upon a highway[, except personal delivery

                                     - 26 -
devices, mobile carriers, and devices used exclusively upon stationary rails or
tracks].

      § 316.1934(1), Fla. Stat.
      Normal faculties include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear,
walk, talk, judge distances, drive an automobile, make judgments, act in
emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and
physical acts of our daily lives.

      Shaw v. State, 783 So. 2d 1097 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001).
      Impaired means diminished in some material respect.

      Give if applicable.
      The option of “on a vehicle” pertains to vehicles such as motorcycles and
bicycles.
      Actual physical control of a vehicle means the defendant must be
physically in [or on] the vehicle and have the capability to operate the vehicle,
regardless of whether [he] [she] is actually operating the vehicle at the time.

      § 322.01(2), Fla. Stat.
      Alcoholic beverages are considered to be substances of any kind and
description which contain alcohol.

      (            ) is a controlled substance under Florida law. Ch. 893, Fla.
      Stat.

      (            ) is a chemical substance under Florida law. § 877.111(1),
      Fla. Stat.

      § 316.1933, Fla. Stat.
      Serious bodily injury means a physical condition that creates a
substantial risk of death, serious personal disfigurement, or protracted loss or
impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

      Give if appropriate. § 316.1934(2)(a) and (2)(b), Fla. Stat.
      1.     If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
             physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a
             blood or breath-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall
             presume that the defendant was not under the influence of
             alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal
             faculties were impaired; but this presumption may be

                                      - 27 -
             overcome by other evidence demonstrating that the
             defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
             the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

      2.     If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
             physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a
             blood or breath-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than
             .08, that fact does not give rise to any presumption that the
             defendant was or was not under the influence of alcoholic
             beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were
             impaired. In such cases, you may consider that evidence
             along with other evidence in determining whether the
             defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
             the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

       It is not necessary to instruct on the “prima facie evidence of impairment”
in § 316.1934(2)(c), Fla. Stat., if the State charged the defendant with driving with
a blood or breath-alcohol level of .08 or over. In those cases, if the jury finds that
the defendant drove with an unlawful blood or breath-alcohol level, impairment
becomes moot. Tyner v. State, 805 So. 2d 862 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).

       Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
       It is a defense to the charge of Driving uUnder the Influence Causing
Serious Bodily Injury if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was
inoperable. However, it is not a defense if the defendant was driving under the
influence before the vehicle became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not
convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time
of the alleged offense, you should find the defendant not guilty. However, if
you are convinced that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged
offense, then you should find the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of
the charge have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

       28.4 LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH INVOLVING [DEATH]
                  [SERIOUS BODILY INJURY] [INJURY]
                  § 316.027(2), Fla. Stat.; § 316.062, Fla. Stat.
      To prove the crime of Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving [Death]
[Serious Bodily Injury] [Injury], the State must prove the following four
elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.     (Defendant) was the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash
             occurring on public or private property resulting in [injury
             to] [death of] any person.
      2.     (Defendant) knew that [he] [she] was involved in a crash.
      Give 3a if death is charged or 3b if injury or serious bodily injury is
charged.

                                        - 29 -
      3.    a.      (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of
                    the circumstances, including the nature of the crash,
                    of the injury to or death of the person.
            b.      (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of
                    the circumstances, including the nature of the crash,
                    of the injury to the person.
      Give 4a, 4b, or both as applicable.
      4.    a.     (Defendant) willfully failed to stop at the scene of the
                   crash or as close to the crash as possible and remain
                   there until [he] [she] had given “identifying
                   information” to the [injured person] [driver]
                   [occupant] [person attending the vehicle] and to any
                   police officer investigating the crash.

             [or]
            b.      (Defendant) willfully failed to render “reasonable
                    assistance” to the injured person if such treatment
                    appeared to be necessary or was requested by the
                    injured person.

      If the State proves that the defendant willfully failed to give any part of
the “identifying information” or willfully failed to give reasonable assistance,
the State satisfies this element of the offense.

      Give if serious bodily injury is charged. § 316.027(1)(a), Fla. Stat.;
      § 316.027(2)(b), Fla. Stat.
      If you find that (defendantdefendant) committed the crime of Leaving
the Scene of a Crash Involving Injury, you must then determine whether the
State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the injury was a serious bodily
injury.

      “Serious bodily injury” means an injury to a person, including the
driver, which consists of a physical condition that creates a substantial risk of
death, serious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function
of a bodily member or organ.

      Give if it is alleged in the charging document that the defendant caused
victim injury or death. § 921.0021(7)(e), Fla. Stat.

                                       - 30 -
       If you find that (defendant) committed the crime of Leaving the Scene of
a Crash Involving [Death] [Serious Bodily Injury] [Injury], you must then
determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that [he] [she]
caused [death] [or] [severe injury] [or] [moderate injury] [or] [slight injury] to
(victim).

      Enhancement. Give when the State alleged the victim was a “vulnerable
road user.”
      § 316.027(2)(f), Fla. Stat.
      If you find that (defendantdefendant) committed the crime of Leaving
the Scene of a Crash Involving [Death] [Serious Bodily Injury] [or] [Injury],
you must then determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt
that the [injured person] [person who died] was:
      [a pedestrian].
      [actually engaged in work upon a highway].
      [actually engaged in work upon utility facilities along a highway].
      [engaged in the provision of emergency services within the right-
      of-way].
      [operating a [bicycle] [motorcycle] [scooter] [moped] lawfully on
      the roadway].
      [riding an animal].
      [lawfully operating [a farm tractor or similar vehicle designed
      primarily for farm use] [a skateboard] [roller-skates] [in-line
      skates] [a horse-drawn carriage] [an electric personal assistive
      mobility device] [a wheelchair] on [a public right-of-way]
      [crosswalk] [shoulder of the roadway]].

     Definitions.

                                    Comments

       * In Williams v. State, 732 So. 2d 431 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999), the court stated
in dictum that Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Injury is a necessarily
lesser-included offense of Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Death. In other

                                       - 32 -
areas, however, where there is no issuedispute that a person was killed as a result
of an incident giving rise to criminal charges, non-death lessers are not appropriate.
See, e.g., State v. Barritt, 531 So. 2d 338 (Fla. 1988); Humphrey v. State, 690 So.
2d 1351 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997).

       As of September 2018, it wasIt is unclear whether the courts willwould
interpret the statutory phrase of “the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash” as
including instances where the defendant’s vehicle did not collide with another
vehicle, person, or object, but the defendant’s driving pattern caused vehicle 2 to
collide with a person, an object, or vehicle 3. See State v. Elder, 975 So. 2d 481
(Fla. 2d DCA 2007)(which was decided before Gaulden v. State, 195 So. 3d 1123
(Fla. 2016) but may still be good law).

      This instruction was adopted in 1995 [665 So. 2d 212] and amended in 2008
[973 So. 2d 432], 2015 [166 So. 3d 161], 2016 [192 So. 3d 1190], and 2018 [236

    28.4(a) LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH INVOLVING ONLY
 DAMAGE TO AN ATTENDED VEHICLE OR ATTENDED PROPERTY
                     § 316.061(1), Fla. Stat.

       To prove the crime of Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Only
Damage to an Attended Vehicle or Attended Property, the State must prove
the following four elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1. (Defendant) was the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash.

      2. The crash resulted only in damage to a vehicle or other property.

      3. The [vehicle] [other property] was [driven] [attended] by [a person]

     To prove the crime of Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding, the State must
prove the following seven elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.    (Defendant) was the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash
            occurring on public or private property resulting in [serious
            bodily injury to] [injury to] [the death of] any person.

      2.    (Defendant) knew that [he] [she] was involved in a crash.

      Give 3a if death is charged or 3b if injury or serious bodily injury is
charged.
      3.     a.     (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of the
                    circumstances, including the nature of the crash, of the
                    injury to or death of the person.

             b.    (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of the
                   circumstances, including the nature of the crash, of the
                   injury to the person.

      Give 4a or 4b or both as applicable.
      4.    (Defendant)

           a.      willfully failed to stop at the scene of the crash or as close
                   to the crash as possible and remain there until [he] [she]
                   had given “identifying information” to the [injured person]
                   [driver] [occupant][person attending the vehicle or other
                   damaged property] and to any police officer investigating
                   the crash.
            [or]

            b.     willfully failed to render “reasonable assistance” to
                   the injured person if such treatment appeared to be
                   necessary or was requested by the injured person.

      5.    A duly authorized law enforcement officer ordered
            (defendant) to stop.

      6.    (Defendant), knowing [he][she] had been ordered to stop by
            a law enforcement officer, [willfully refused or failed to stop

                                      - 51 -
            [his][her]vehicle in compliance with the order to stop] [and
            after having stopped in knowing compliance with the order
            to stop, willfully fled in a vehicle in an attempt to elude the
            law enforcement officer.]

      7.    As a result of (defendant) fleeing or eluding, [he] [she]
            caused [serious bodily injury to] [the death of] (name of
            victim).

      § 316.027, Fla. Stat.
      A driver has the legal duty to immediately stop [his] [her] vehicle at the
scene of the crash or as close to the scene of the crash as possible and provide
“identifying information.”

       If the State proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant
willfully failed to give any part of the “identifying information” or willfully
failed to give reasonable assistance, the State satisfies this element of the
offense.

       Give if it is alleged in the charging document that the defendant caused
victim injury or death as part of violating § 316.027, Fla. Stat. § 921.0021(7)(e),
Fla. Stat.
       If you find that (defendant) committed Aggravated Fleeing, you must
then determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that [he]
[she] caused [death] [or] [severe injury] [or] [moderate injury] [or] [slight
injury] to (victim).

      Enhancement. Give when the State alleged the victim was a “vulnerable
road user.” § 316.027(2)(f), Fla. Stat.
      If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that
(defendant) committed elements #1 – #4, you must then determine whether the
State also proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the [injured person] [person
who died] in element #1 was:

      [a pedestrian].
      [actually engaged in work upon a highway].
      [actually engaged in work upon utility facilities along a highway].
      [engaged in the provision of emergency services within the right-of-
      way].

                                       - 52 -
      [operating a [bicycle] [motorcycle] [scooter] [moped] lawfully on

Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding and Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving Death,

interpret the statutory phrase of “the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash” as

     To prove the crime of Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding, the State must
prove the following seven elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.     (Defendant) was the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash.

      2.     The crash resulted only in damage to a vehicle or other
             property.

      3.     The [vehicle] [other property] was [driven] [attended] by [a
             person] [(name of person)].

                                       - 55 -
      4.    (Defendant) failed to stop at the scene of the crash or as close
            to the crash as possible and remain there until [he] [she]
            had given “identifying information” to the [driver or
            occupant of the damaged vehicle] [person attending the
            damaged vehicle or property] [and to any police officer at
            the scene of the crash or who is investigating the crash.

      5.    A duly authorized law enforcement officer ordered
            (defendant) to stop.

      6.    (Defendant), knowing [he] [she] had been ordered to stop by
            a law enforcement officer, [willfully refused or failed to stop
            [his] [her] vehicle in compliance with the order to stop] [and
            after having stopped in knowing compliance with the order
            to stop, willfully fled in a vehicle in an attempt to elude the
            law enforcement officer].

      7.    As a result of (defendant) fleeing or eluding, [he] she] caused
            [serious bodily injury to] [the death of] (name of victim).

      If the State proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant failed
to give any part of the “identifying information,” the State satisfies this
element of the offense.

      * § 316.1935(4), Fla. Stat., states that a person may be charged with both
Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding and Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving
Damage to Attended Property. Therefore, if Leaving the Scene is charged as a
separate count, then Leaving the Scene should not be given as a lesser-included
offense of Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding.

      As of August 2017September 2018, there was no case law directly
addressing the issue of whether the State must prove the defendant knew, or should
have known, of either the crash or the property damage to violate this statute.

                   § 316.1935(4)(a) and § 316.027 Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding, the State must
prove the following seven elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.     (Defendant) was the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash
             occurring on public or private property resulting in [serious
             bodily injury to] [injury to] [the death of] any person.

      2.     (Defendant) knew that [he] [she] was involved in a crash.

                                       - 58 -
      Give 3a if death is charged or 3b if serious bodily injury or injury is
charged.
      3.     a. (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of the
                    circumstances, including the nature of the crash, of the
                    injury to or death of the person.

            b.     (Defendant) knew, or should have known from all of the
                   circumstances, including the nature of the crash, of the
                   injury to the person.

      Give 4a or 4b or both as applicable.
      4.    (Defendant)
            a.    willfully failed to stop at the scene of the crash or as
                  close to the crash as possible and remain there until
                  [he] [she] had given “identifying information” to the
                  [injured person] [driver] [occupant] [person attending
                  the vehicle or other damaged property] and to any
                  police officer investigating the crash.

            [or]

            b.     willfully failed to render “reasonable assistance” to
                   the injured person if such treatment appeared to be
                   necessary or was requested by the injured person.

      5.    A duly authorized law enforcement officer ordered
            (defendant) to stop.

      6.    (Defendant) knowing [he] [she] had been ordered to stop by
            a law enforcement officer, [willfully refused or failed to stop
            [his][her]vehicle in compliance with the order to stop][and
            after having stopped in knowing compliance with the order
            to stop, willfully fled in a vehicle in an attempt to elude the
            law enforcement officer.]

      7.    As a result of (defendant) fleeing or eluding, [he] [she]
            caused [an injury to] [damage to the property of] (name of
            victim).

      A driver has the legal duty to immediately stop [his] [her] vehicle at the
scene of the crash or as close to the scene of the crash as possible and provide
“identifying information.”

       If the State proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant
willfully failed to give any part of the “identifying information” or willfully
failed to give reasonable assistance, the State satisfies this element of the
offense.

       Give if it is alleged in the charging document that the defendant caused
victim injury or death as part of violating § 316.027, Fla. Stat. § 921.0021(7)(e),
Fla. Stat.
       If you find that (defendant) committed Aggravated Fleeing, you must
then determine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that [he]
[she] caused [death] [or] [severe injury] [or] [moderate injury] [or] [slight
injury] to (victim).

      Enhancement. Give when the State alleged the victim was a “vulnerable
road user.” § 316.027(2)(f), Fla. Stat.
      If you find that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that
(defendant) committed elements #1 – #4, you must then determine whether the
State also proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the [injured person] [person
who died] in element #1 was:

      [a pedestrian].
      [actually engaged in work upon a highway].
      [actually engaged in work upon utility facilities along a highway].
      [engaged in the provision of emergency services within the right-of-

      [operating a [bicycle] [motorcycle] [scooter] [moped] lawfully on
      the roadway].
      [riding an animal].

      *§ 316.1935(4), Fla. Stat., states that a person may be charged with both
Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding and Leaving the Scene of a Crash Involving
Damage to Attended Property. Therefore, if Leaving the Scene is charged as a
separate count, then Leaving the Scene should not be given as a lesser-included
offense of Aggravated Fleeing or Eluding.

      As of August 2017September 2018, there was no case law directly
addressing the issue of whether the State must prove the defendant knew, or should
have known, of either the crash or the property damage to violate this statute.
CompareCompare State v. Dorsett, 158 So. 3d 557 (Fla. 2015), and Mancuso v.

State, 652 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 1995), dealing with § 316.027, Fla. Stat., which, unlike
§ 316.061, Fla. Stat., contains an explicit willfulness requirement.

       **The Second District Court of Appeal requires Disobedience to Police to
be given as a lesser when the charging document tracks the Fleeing statute. See
Koch v. State, 39 So. 3d 464 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010); Lucas v. State, 192 So. 3d 1269
(Fla. 2d DCA 2016). The Committee retained Disobedience to Police in the
Category Two box, however, because Disobedience to Police requires the police
order or direction to be lawful and the crime of Fleeing to Elude LEO does not
contain that element. See State v. Kirer, 120 So. 3d 60 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013);
Jackson v. State, 463 So. 2d 372 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985).

       As of September 2018, it wasIt is unclear whether the courts willwould
interpret the statutory phrase of “the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash” as
including instances where the defendant’s vehicle did not collide with another
vehicle, person, or object, but the defendant’s driving pattern caused vehicle 2 to
collide with a person, an object, or vehicle 3. See State v. Elder, 975 So. 2d 481
(Fla. 2d DCA 2007)(which was decided before Gaulden v. State, 195 So. 3d 1123
(Fla. 2016) but may still be good law).

                            § 316.1939, Fla. Stat.

     To prove the crime of Refusal to Submit to Testing, the State must
prove the following six elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      Give 1a and/or 1b as applicable.
      1.    A law enforcement officer had probable cause to believe
            (defendant) [drove] [was in actual physical control of] a motor
            vehicle in this state while

             a.    under the influence of [an alcoholic beverage][(a chemical
                   substance listed in 877.111 Fla. Stat.)][(a controlled substance

                                       - 66 -
                   listed in Chapter 893)] to the extent (Defendant’s) normal
                   faculties were impaired.

             b.    [his] [her] [breath] [blood] alcohol level was .08 or higher.

       Give 2a in cases where the defendant was arrested. Give 2b in cases where
the defendant appeared for treatment at a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility
and the administration of a breath or urine test was impractical or impossible.
       2.     a. The law enforcement officer lawfully arrested (defendant)
                    for Driving Under the Influence.

              b.   The law enforcement officer requested a blood test.

      3.     (Defendant) was informed that if [he] [she] refused to submit to a
             [chemical] [physical] test of [his] [her][breath] [blood] [urine],
             [his] [her] privilege to operate a motor vehicle would be
             suspended for a period of one year, or, in the case of a second or
             subsequent refusal, for a period of 18 months.

      4.     (Defendant) was informed that it is a misdemeanor to refuse to
             submit to a lawful test of [his] [her] [breath] [blood] [urine], if
             [his] [her] driving privilege had been previously suspended for a
             prior refusal to submit to a lawful test of [his] [her] [breath]
             [blood] [urine].

      5.     (Defendant), after being so informed, refused to submit to a
             [chemical] [physical] test of [his] [her] [breath]_[blood] [urine]
             when requested to do so by a [law enforcement officer]
             [correctional officer].

      6.     (Defendant’s) driving privilege had been previously suspended for
             a prior refusal to submit to a lawful test of [his] [her] [breath]
             [blood] [urine].

       Inference.
       You are permitted to conclude that (defendant’s) driving privilege had
been previously suspended for a prior refusal to submit to a lawful test of
[his]_[her]_[[breath]_[blood]_[urine] if a record from the Department of
Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles shows such a suspension.
