In Re STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES— REPORT NO. 2013-06

148 So. 3d 1204, 2014 WL 4636358

• Court: Supreme Court of Florida
• Decided: August 28, 2014
• Docket: SC13-1914
• Status: Published

Opinion

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 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 under lining, 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.

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 killinghomicide that is excusable or was committed by the use of justifiable deadly force is lawful.

If you find that there was an attempted killinghomicide of (victim) by (defendant), you will then consider the circumstances surrounding the attempted killinghomicide in deciding ifwhether it was attempted first degree murder, or attempted second degree murder, or attempted — third—degree—murderr-er attempted voluntary manslaughter by act, or whether the attempted killinghomi-cide was excusable or resulted from justifiable use of deadly force.

JUSTIFIABLE ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

The An attempted killinghomicide o£-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 killinghomicide.

EXCUSABLE ATTEMPTED HOMICIDE

TheAn attempted killinghomicide ef-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

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] [cyberstalk-ing] 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.

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, pipe-bomb, 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.

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.

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.

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].

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.

To prove the crime of Improper Exhibition of a [Weapon] [Firearm] [Sword]

[Sword Cane] [Electric Weapon or Device] [Destructive Device] [at][on] [within] [ (insert prohibited place in Fla. Stat. 790.115(1)) ], the State must prove the following four elements beyond a reasonable doubt.

§ 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.

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(H), 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.

See § 790.001(f), Fla. Stat. for the definition of “destructive device. ”

11.14 FAILURE TO REGISTER AS BY A SEXUAL OFFENDER TO COMPLY WITH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

(Initially Register, Report, or Provide Registration Items)

§ 94S.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:

Give la or lb 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 Brawn v. State, 719 So.2d 882 (Fla.1998); Johnson v. State, 842 So.2d 228 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008). 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] [custo dy 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.

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 statute).]

Read only if the defendant is charged with failing to provide a physical residential address.

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

Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v. State, 108 So.3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 20131

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, 126 S.Ct. 2437, 165 L.Ed.2d 299 (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 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.

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

Give la or lb 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”

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. having registered as a sexual offender with an office of the sheriff of (name of county) County, knowingly failed to report in person to 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, and knowingly failed to [secure a Florida driver’s license] [renew [his][her] Florida driver’s license] [secure a Florida identification card].

b. reported in person to a driver’s license office of the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and [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 offender.

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 Offender to Comply with Registration Requirements that (defendant) attempted to comply with the requirements but was misinformed or otherwise prevented from complying by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.

There is no statute for the defense of being misinformed or otherwise prevented from complying, 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 o f 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, 126 S.Ct. 2437, 165 L.Ed.2d 299 (2006), for further guidance.

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 registra tion 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.

No lesser included offenses have been identified.

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 la or lb 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) 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.

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 that (defendant) attempted to register as required by law but was misinformed or otherwise prevented from timely registering 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).

11.15(b) FAILURE TO REGISTER AS BY A SEXUAL PREDATOR TO COMPLY WITH REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS (Failure to Comply with Registration-Requirements Provide Required Information)

§ 775.21(6)(a)l, 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 la or lb 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 (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 statute) ].

Read only if the defendant is charged with failing to provide a physical residential address.

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

Give if the defendant meets his or her burden of production. See Barnes v. State, 108 So.3d 700 (Fla. 1st DCA 20131

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.

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, 126 S.Ct. 2437, 165 L.Ed.2d 299 (2006), for further guidance.

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 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 beycmd 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 [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.

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 (¾) 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, 126 S.Ct. 2437, 165 L.Ed.2d 299 (2006), for further guidance.

If you find that (defendant) proved (insert appropriate burden of persuasion) that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement 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 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.
