Comment This instruction was adopted in 2008. 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 (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].
Definition._ “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 continuous series of acts or events. Title to property._ In order for a taking of property to be robbery, it is not necessary that the person robbed be the actual owner of the property. It is sufficient if the victim has the custody of the property at the time of the offense. Force. Give if applicable.
The taking must be by the use of force or violence or by assault so as to overcome the resistance of the victim, or by putting the victim in fear so that the victim does not resist. The law does not require that the victim of robbery resist to any particular extent or that the victim offer any actual physical resistance if the circumstances are such that the 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 if applicable.
It is also robbery if a person, with intent to take the property from a victim, administers any substance to another so that the victim becomes unconscious and then takes the property from the person or custody of the victim. Taking. In order for a taking by force, violence, or putting in fear to be robbery, it is not necessary that the taking be from the person of the victim. It is sufficient if the property taken is under the actual control of the victim so that it cannot be taken without the use of force, violence, or intimidation directed against the victim. Enhanced penalty. Give if applicable.
The-punishment provided by law for If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of robbery, then you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt is greater — 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. Therefore, if you find the- defendant guilty of robbery,-you must then eonsider-whether the-State has further proved those aggravating circumstances and reflect this in 3*our verdict. With a firearm^ If you find that the defendant carried a firearm in the course of committing the robbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty of robbery with a firearm.
With a deadly weapon._ If you find that the defendant carried a (deadly weapon described in charge) in the course of committing the robbery and that the (deadly weapon described in charge) was a deadly weapon, you should find [him] [her] guilty of robbery with a deadly weapon. With other weapon. If you find that the defendant carried a weapon that was not a [firearm] [deadly weapon] in the course of committing the robbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty of robbery with a weapon. With no firearm or weapon.
If you find that the defendant carried no firearm or weapon in the course of committing the robbery, but did commit the robbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty only of robbery.
Definitions. A “firearm” is legally -defined as (adapt from § 790.001(6), Fla. Stat., as required by allegations). 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. A “weapon” is legally defined to mean any object that could be used to cause death or inflict serious bodily harm. Also define “attempt” (see 5.1).

We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. . One of the comments filed with this Court raised the issue of whether Judge Benton’s dissenting opinion in Cliett v. State, 951 So.2d 3 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007), warrants amendments to instruction 15.1 (Robbery).
Judge Benton asserted that "the failure to instruct the jury that it had to determine whether what [Cliett] said and did would have placed a reasonable person in fear ... was fundamental error, in my view, requiring reversal and remand for a new trial." Id. at 4. In response, the Committee rejected that comment, determining that the majority view in Cliett was correct. We decline to address the issue here. Such determination must be left for a proper case and controversy. .
The amendments to the instructions as reflected in the appendix are to the Criminal Jury Instructions as they appear on the Court’s website at www.floridasupremecourt. org/iury_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.
