IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES-REPORT 2018-06., 260 So. 3d 941

PER CURIAM. The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) has submitted proposed changes to the standard jury instructions and asks that the Court authorize the amended standard instructions for publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. The Committee proposes amendments to four existing standard criminal jury instructions: 15.1 (Robbery); 15.2 (Carjacking); 15.3 (Home-Invasion Robbery); and 26.9 (Money Laundering).

The proposals were published by the Committee in The Florida Bar News ; one comment was received from the Florida Public Defender Association (FPDA) concerning the proposed amendments to instructions 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3. The Committee made one of the changes proposed by the FPDA prior to filing its report with the Court, but declined to make the other proposed change. The proposals were not published by the Court after having been filed by the Committee.

Having considered the Committee's report and the FPDA comment, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee, with one technical correction to a comment, and authorize them for publication and use. We discuss the more significant amendments below. First, nonsubstantive revisions are made to several of the elements in instructions 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 to improve readability or better track statutory language for the offenses covered by those instructions.

Additionally, instructions 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 are amended to replace "the" before "victim" with "that" or "a" to replace "victim" with the alleged victim's name throughout the instructions to avoid the trial court's accidentally referring to the alleged victim as a "victim." Statutory citations are also added above various

definitions and paragraphs throughout these three instructions. Further, a bracketed sentence is added to the "Force"

section of these instructions reading: "The law does not require the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear to be exerted against the victim from whom the property was taken if the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was exerted against another in the course of the taking." A citation to Thomas v. State , 36 So.3d 853 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010), is added above that paragraph in each of those three instructions.

Instructions 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3 are also amended to add a definition of "great bodily harm" stating that " 'Great bodily harm' means great as distinguished from slight, trivial, minor, or moderate harm, and as such does not include mere bruises." A citation to Wheeler v. State , 203 So.3d 1007 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016), is added above that definition in each of those instructions. New paragraphs are added to the comments

section of instructions 15.1, 15.2, and 15.3, and an existing paragraph in the comments

section of each of those instructions is revised. However, 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. Next, the crime of resisting a merchant is added as a category-two lesser-included offense for carjacking in instruction 15.2. With regard to instruction 26.9, several of the elements of the crime money laundering are revised to better track statutory language governing that offense.

Additionally, a last element is added reading: "The money or property involved in the financial transaction exceeded $300 in any 12-month period." This amendment is made to address language found in

section 896.101(5), Florida Statutes (2018). Further, a paragraph is added to the instruction providing: "A[n] (name of the specified unlawful activity in § 895.02(8)(a)(1.-50. alleged) consists of (give elements of the specified unlawful activity alleged). (If applicable, also explain attempt, conspiracy, solicitation, coercion, and/or intimidation to commit the specified unlawful activity.) " Next, the phrase "virtual currency" is added to the definition of "monetary instruments" in instruction 26.9 to track recent statutory amendments, see ch. 2017-155, § 12, at 5, Laws of Fla., and a definition of "virtual currency" based on

section 896.101(2)(j), Florida Statutes (2018), is added to the instruction. A lesser-included offense table is added to the instruction and contains second- and third-degree money laundering as category-one lesser-included offenses for first-degree money laundering. Last, a paragraph is added to the instruction directing the jury, if it found the defendant guilty of money laundering, to determine whether the transaction involved more than $300 but less than $20,000, $20,000 or more but less than $100,000, or $100,000 or more during any 12-month period, to determine the felony degree of the offense.

The amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use. 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.

The instructions as set forth in the appendix shall become effective when this opinion becomes final. It is so ordered. CANADY, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, POLSTON, LABARGA, and LAWSON, JJ., concur. APPENDIX 15.1 ROBBERY § 812.13, Fla. Stat. To prove the crime of Robbery, the State must prove the following four elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. (Defendant) took [the] [a] [an] (money or property described in charge) from the person or custody of (person alleged). 2. Force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was used in the course of the taking. 3. The property taken was of some value. 4.

The taking was with the intent to permanently or temporarily [deprive (victim) of [his] [her] right to the property or any benefit from it] [appropriate the property of (victim) to [his] [her] own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it].

Definitions. Assault. § 784.011 . Fla. Stat. Give if applicable. An "assault" is an intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to a victim, when it appears the person making the threat has the ability to carry out the threat, and the act creates in the mind of the that victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place. Fear. Give only if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5thth DCA 1997).

If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the a victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the a victim need not be shown. In the course of the taking. § 812.13(3)(b), Fla. Stat. "In the course of the taking" means that the act occurred prior to, contemporaneous with, or subsequent to the taking of the property and that the act and the taking of the property constitute a continuous series of acts or events. Afterthought. Give only if applicable. DeJesus v. State, 98 So.3d 105 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).

If you find that the taking of property occurred as an afterthought to the use of force or violence [or the threat of force or violence] against the victim (victim) , the taking does not constitute r R obbery , but may still constitute t T heft. Title to property. Give if applicable. In order for a taking of property to be r R obbery, it is not necessary that the person robbed be the actual owner of the property. It is sufficient if the victim person has the custody of the property at the time of the offense. Force. Give bracketed language only if applicable. Thomas v. State, 36 So.3d 853 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010).

The taking must be by the use of force or violence or by assault so as to overcome the resistance of the victim a person , or by putting the victim a person in fear so that the victim he or she does not resist. [The law does not require the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear to be exerted against the victim from whom the property was taken if the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was exerted against another in the course of the taking.] The law does not require that the a victim of r R obbery resist to any particular extent or that the a victim offer any actual physical resistance if the circumstances are such that the a victim is placed in fear of death or great bodily harm if he or she does resist.

But unless prevented by fear, there must be some resistance to make the taking one done by force or violence. Victim unconscious. Give only if applicable. It is also r R obbery if a person, with intent to take the property from a victim, administers any substance to another so that the victim so that [he] [she] becomes unconscious and then takes the property from the person or custody of the that victim. Taking. Give if applicable. In order for a taking by force, violence, or putting in fear to be r R obbery, it is not necessary that the taking be from the person of the a victim.

It is sufficient if the property taken is under the actual control custody of the a victim so that it cannot be taken without the use of force, violence, or intimidation directed against the a victim. Enhanced penalty. Give only if applicable. § 812.13(3)(a), Fla. Stat. If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of r R obbery, you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt if "in the course of committing the robbery" the defendant carried some kind of weapon.

An act is "in the course of committing the robbery" if it occurs in an attempt to commit robbery or in flight after the attempt or commission. With a firearm. § 812.13(2)(a), Fla. Stat. If you find that the defendant carried a firearm in the course of committing the r R obbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty of r R obbery with a firearm.

A "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. An antique firearm is (insert definition in § 790.001(1), Fla. Stat.) ] [A destructive device is (insert definition in § 790.001(4), Fla. Stat.) ] With a deadly weapon. § 812.13(2)(a), Fla. Stat.

If you find that the defendant carried a (deadly weapon described in charge)in the course of committing the r R obbery and that the (deadly weapon described in charge)was a deadly weapon, you should find [him] [her] guilty of r R obbery with a deadly weapon. A weapon is a "deadly weapon" if it is used or threatened to be used in a way likely to produce death or great bodily harm. 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. With other weapon. § 812.13(2)(b), Fla.

Stat. If you find that the defendant carried a weapon that was not a firearm or a deadly weapon in the course of committing the r R obbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty of r R obbery with a weapon. A "weapon" is defined to mean any object that could be used to cause death or inflict serious bodily harm. With no firearm or weapon. § 812.13(2)(c), Fla. Stat. If you find that the defendant carried no firearm or weapon in the course of committing the r R obbery, but did commit the r R obbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty only of r R obbery. If applicable, see Instruction 5.1 for "attempt".

In Sanders v. State, 944 So.2d 203, 207 n.3 (Fla. 2006) (Pariente, J., concurring), some Florida Supreme Court justices expressed a preference to have findings for carrying a firearm or a deadly weapon or a weapon made in a separate interrogatory rather than as part of lesser-included offenses. For the crime of r R obbery,according the First and Fifth DCAs, upon request, the judge must instruct that the a jury can convict a defendant of two lesser-included offenses such as 1) theft and assault or 2) theft and resisting a merchant in appropriate cases . See Spencer v.

State, 71 So.3d 901 (Fla. 1stst DCA 2011) , andStuckey v. State, 972 So.2d 918 (Fla. 5th th DCA 2007).See also Gian-Grasso v. State, 899 So.2d 392 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005)(holding that a defendant is entitled to have a jury consider convicting of the two separate component offenses of a compound offense). However, according to the Third DCA, the jury should be given the option of finding multiple lesser-included offenses only if there is evidence that the force, violence, assault or putting in fear was not used in the course of the taking. Gordon v. State, 219 So.3d 189 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2017).

This instruction was adopted in 1981 and amended in 1985 [477 So.2d 985], 1989 [543 So.2d 1205], 1995 [665 So.2d 212], 2008 [982 So.2d 1160], and 2013 [122 So.3d 263], and 2018. 15.2 CARJACKING § 812.133, Fla. Stat. To prove the crime of Carjacking, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. (Defendant) took thea motor vehicle from the person or custody of (victimperson alleged). 2. Force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was used in the course of the taking. 3.

The taking was with the intent to temporarily or permanently [deprive (victim) of [his] [her] right to the motor vehicle or any benefit from it] [appropriate the motor vehicle of (victim) to [his] [her] own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it].

Definitions. Medrano v. State, 199 So.3d 413 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016). § 320.01, Fla. Stat. "Motor vehicle" means an automobile, motorcycle, truck, trailer, semitrailer, truck tractor and semitrailer combination, or any other vehicle operated on the roads of this state, used to transport persons or property, and propelled by power other than muscular power, but the term does not include traction engines, road rollers, personal delivery devices, special mobile equipment, vehicles that run only upon a track, bicycles, swamp buggies, or mopeds. Assault. § 784.011 Fla. Stat. Give if applicable.

An "assault" is defined as an intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to a victim, when it appears the person making the threat has the ability to carry out the threat, and the act creates in the mind of the that victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place. Fear. Give only if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5thth DCA 1997). If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the a victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the a victim need not be shown.

In the course of the taking. § 812.133(3)(b), Fla. Stat. "In the course of the taking" means that the act occurred before, during, or after the taking of the motor vehicle and that the act and the taking of the motor vehicle constitute a continuous series of acts or events. Afterthought. Give only if applicable. DeJesus v. State, 98 So.3d 105 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).

If you find that the taking of the motor vehicle occurred as an afterthought to the use of force or violence_[ or the threat of force or violence] against (victim), the taking does not constitute robbery Carjacking , but may still constitute g G rand t T heft m M otor v V ehicle. Title to motor vehicle. Give if applicable. In order for a taking of the motor vehicle to be e C arjacking, it is not necessary that the victim person carjacked be the actual owner of the motor vehicle. It is sufficient if the victim person has the custody of the motor vehicle at the time of the offense. Force.

Give bracketed language only if applicable. Thomas v. State, 36 So.3d 853 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010).

The taking must be by the use of force or violence or by assault so as to overcome the resistance of the victim a person , or by putting the victim a person in fear so that the victim he or she does not resist. [The law does not require the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear to be exerted against the victim from whom the motor vehicle was taken if the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was exerted against another in the course of the taking.] The law does not require that the a victim of c C arjacking resist to any particular extent or that the a victim offer any actual physical resistance if the circumstances are such that the a victim is placed in fear of death or great bodily harm if he or she does resist.

But unless prevented by fear, there must be some resistance to make the taking one done by force or violence. Victim unconscious. Give only if applicable. It is also c C arjacking if a person, with intent to take the motor vehicle from a victim, administers any substance to the that victim so that [he] [she] becomes unconscious and then takes the motor vehicle from the person or custody of the that victim. Taking. Give if applicable. In order for a taking by force, violence, or putting in fear to be Carjacking, it is not necessary that the taking be from the person of a victim.

It is sufficient if the motor vehicle taken is under the custody of a victim so that it cannot be taken without the use of force, violence, or intimidation directed against a victim. Enhanced penalty. Give only if applicable. §§ 812.133(2)(

a) and 812.133(3)(

a) Fla. Stats. If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of c C arjacking, you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt if "in the course of committing the c C arjacking" the defendant carried some kind of a firearm or other deadly weapon.

An act is "in the course of committing the c C arjacking" if it occurs in an attempt to commit c C arjacking or in flight after the attempt or commission. With a firearm or deadly weapon. § 812.133(2)(a), Fla. Stat. If you find that the defendant carried a firearm or other deadly weapon in the course of committing the c C arjacking, you should find [him] [her] guilty of c C arjacking with a firearm or deadly weapon.

A "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. An antique firearm is (insert definition in § 790.001(1), Fla. Stat.) ] [A destructive device is (insert definition in § 790.001(4), Fla.

Stat.) ] A "weapon" is defined to mean any object that could be used to cause death or inflict serious bodily harm. A weapon is a "deadly weapon" if it is used or threatened to be used in a way likely to produce death or great bodily harm. 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. With no firearm or weapon. § 812.133(2)(

b) Fla. Stat. If you find that the defendant carried no firearm or deadly weapon in the course of committing the c C arjacking, but did commit the c C arjacking, you should find [him] [her] guilty only of c C arjacking. The only enhancement under the statute is for carrying a firearm or other deadly weapon, not for carrying a nondeadly weapon as in the robbery statute.

If applicable, see Instruction 5.1 for 5.1 "attempt." For the crime of c C arjacking, it is likely that a the First, Fourth, and Fifth DCAs would hold that the judge must, upon request, instruct that the jury can convict a defendant of two lesser-included offenses such as grand theft auto and assault. See Spencer v.

State, 71 So.3d 901 (Fla. 1 st st DCA 2011); Stuckey v. State, 972 So.2d 918 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007); Gian-Grasso v.

However, according to the Third DCA, the jury should be given the option of finding multiple lesser-included offenses only if there is evidence that the force, violence, assault or putting in fear was not used in the course of the taking. Gordon v. State , 219 So.3d 189 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2017).

This instruction was adopted in 1997 [697 So.2d 84] and amended in 2008 [982 So.2d 1160], and 2013 [122 So.3d 263], and 2018. 15.3 HOME-INVASION ROBBERY § 812.135, Fla. Stat. To prove the crime of Home-Invasion Robbery, the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. (Defendant) entered the dwelling of (victim). 2. At the time (defendant) entered the dwelling, [he] [she] intended to commit robbery. 3. While inside the dwelling, (defendant) did commit robbery.

A robbery consists of the following: 1. (Defendant) took money or property[the] [a] [an] (money or property described in charge) from the person or custody of another(person alleged). 2. Force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was used in the course of the taking. 3. The property taken was of some value. 4. The taking was with the intent to permanently or temporarily [deprive another(victim) of [his] [her] right to the property or any benefit from it] [appropriate the property of another(victim) to [his] [her] own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it].

Definitions. Assault. § 784.011 , Fla. Stat. Give if applicable. An "assault" is defined as an intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to a victim, when it appears the person making the threat has the ability to carry out the threat, and the act creates in the mind of the that victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place. Fear. Give only if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5 th th DCA 1997).

If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the a victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the a victim need not be shown. In the course of the taking. § 812.13(3)(b), Fla. Stat. "In the course of the taking" means that the act occurred prior to, contemporaneous with, or subsequent to the taking of the property and that the act and the taking of the property constitute a continuous series of acts or events. Afterthought. Give only if applicable. DeJesus v. State, 98 So.3d 105 (Fla. 2d DCA 2012).

If you find that the taking of property occurred as an afterthought to the use of force or violence [or the threat of force or violence] against (victim), the taking does not constitute r R obbery but may still constitute t T heft. Title to property. Give if applicable. In order for a taking of property to be r R obbery, it is not necessary that the person robbed be the actual owner of the property. It is sufficient if the victim person has the custody of the property at the time of the offense. Force. Give bracketed language only if applicable. Thomas v. State, 36 So.3d 853 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010).

The taking must be by the use of force or violence or by assault so as to overcome the resistance of the victim a person , or by putting the victim a person in fear so that the victim he or she does not resist. [The law does not require the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear to be exerted against the victim from whom the property was taken if the force, violence, assault, or putting in fear was exerted against another in the course of the taking.] The law does not require that the a victim of r R obbery resist to any particular extent or that the a victim offer any actual physical resistance if the circumstances are such that the a victim is placed in fear of death or great bodily harm if he or she does resist.

If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of h H ome- i I nvasion r R obbery, you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt if " in the course of committing the h H ome- i I nvasion r R obbery ," the defendant carried some kind of weapon. With a firearm. § 812.135(2)(a), Fla. Stat.

A weapon is a "deadly weapon" if it is used or threatened to be used in a way likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Wheeler v. State, 203 So.3d 1007 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016).

In Sanders v. State, 944 So.2d 203, 207 n.3 (Fla. 2006) (Pariente, J., concurring), some Florida Supreme Court justices expressed a preference to have findings for carrying a firearm or a deadly weapon or a weapon made in a separate interrogatory rather than as part of lesser-included offenses.

The Home-Invasion Robbery statute does not contain an explanation of "in the course of committing the home-Invasion robbery." It is unclear whether the courts would look to the robbery and carjacking statutes so that "in the course of committing" would include an attempt to commit Home-Invasion Robbery or in flight after the attempt or commission. For the crime of h H ome- i I nvasion r R obbery, it is likely that a the First, Fourth, and Fifth DCAs would hold that the judge must, upon request, instruct that the jury can convict a defendant of two lesser-included offenses such as theft and assault. See Spencer v.

State, 71 So.3d 901 (Fla. 1 st st DCA 2011); Stuckey v. State, 972 So.2d 918 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007); Gian-Grasso v. State, 899 So.2d 392 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) (holding that a defendant is entitled to have a jury consider convicting of the two separate component offenses of a compound offense). However, according to the Third DCA, the jury should be given the option of finding multiple lesser-included offenses only if there is evidence that the force, violence, assault or putting in fear was not used in the course of the taking. Gordon v. State , 219 So.3d 189 (Fla. 3rd DCA 2017).
