176 So. 3d 938, 2015 WL 5853925

• Court: Supreme Court of Florida
• Decided: October 8, 2015
• Docket: SC14-2507
• 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.

The Committee proposes amending the following existing standard criminal jury instructions: 7.9 (Vehicular or Vessel Homicide); 11.10(f) (Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition Over Computer Service); 11.10(g) (Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition by a Detainee in the Presence of an Employee of a Facility); 13.1 (Burglary); 14.9 (Exploitation of [an Elderly Person] [a Disabled Adult]); 20.15 (Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification Information of a Minor); 20.16 (Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification Information of a Minor by a Parent or Guardian); 22.5 (Setting Up, Promoting, Conducting a Lottery); 22.6 (Disposing of Money, Property by Lottery); 22.7 (Conducting a Lottery Drawing); 22.8 (Assisting in Lottery); 22.9 (Selling Lottery Tickets); 22.10 (Possessing a Lottery Ticket); 22.11 (Possessing Rundown Sheets, Etc.); 23.8 (Selling a Minor into Prostitution by a [Parent] [Legal Guardian] [Person with Control of the Minor]); 29.24 (Human Trafficking);' and 29.25 (Human Trafficking by' a [Parent] [Legal Guardian] [Person with Control] of a Minor). The Committee also proposes the following new jury instruction: 20.21 (Fraudulent Use of Personal Identification Information of a [Disabled Adult] [Public Servant] [Veteran] [First Responder] [State Employee] [Federal Employee]). The Committee published its proposals in The Florida Bar News. Four comments were received by the Committee. The Court did not publish the proposals after they were filed.

Having considered the Committee’s report, the comments submitted to the Committee, and the Committee’s response to the Court’s request for additional information, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee, with one modification discussed below, ánd authorize them for publication and use.

Section 782.071, Florida Statutes (2014); defines the offense of Vehicular Homicide, while section 782.072, Florida Statutes (2014), defines the offense of Vessel Homicide. Element 1 of instruction 7.9 differentiates between the two offenses consistent with the applicable statute. Because Vessel Homicide does not specifically provide for a separate offense for death of an unborn child, section 775.021(5), 1 newly enacted during the 2014 legislative session, see ch. 2014-194, § 2, Laws of Fla., operates to include death of an, unborn child as part of the offense of Vessel Homicide. Vehicular Homicide, on the other hand, includes- death of an unborn child by any injury to the mother as part of the offense. Death of an unborn child is therefore applicable to both Vessel Homicide and Vehicular Homicide, and the italicized note in instruction 7.9 to the contrary is deleted.

We also note the following more significant changes to the jury instructions as amended'. First, regarding the lottery instructions, i.e., 22.5, 22.6, 22.7, 22.8, 22.9, 22.10, and 22.11, a citation to the case that sets out the three elements defining “lottery,” Little River Theatre Corp. v. State, 135 Fla. 854, 185 So. 855 (1939), is added. In addition, the definition of “lottery” is simplified to only include the three elements already set out in the instructions. Also defined are the term and phrases “bet,” “thing ventured,” and “prize by lot or chance.” The portion of the definition defining “lottery” as follows is deleted: “is a game of chance in which smaller sums of money or things of smaller value are risked for the chance of getting money or property of greater value upon the happening of an uncertain event.” Next, instruction 23.8 (Selling a Minor into Prostitution by a [Parent] [Legal Guardian] [Person with Control of the Minor]) is removed. Finally, regarding the human trafficking instruction, 29.24, “use of coercion” is moved from the definition section to element two of the offense, where “use of coercion” is applicable to establishing the offense of “human trafficking.”

The new and amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are- hereby authorized for publication and use. 2 New language is indicated by underscoring, 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., ánd PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur.

13.1 BURGLARY

§ 810.02; Fla. Stat.

Give if the information or indictment charges entering with the intent to commit an offense:

To prove the crime of Burglary, the State must prove the following [two] [three] elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. (Defendant) entered a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession of (person alleged).

2. At the time of entering the [structure] [conveyance], (defendant) had the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] in that [structure] [conveyance].

The offense intended cannot be trespass or burglary.

Give element 3 only if defendant meets his or her burden of production that he or she had an invitation or license to enter, or that the premises were open to the public. See State v. Hicks, 421 So.2d, 510 (Fla.1982), and State v. Waters, 436 So.2d 66 (Fla.1983).

3. [ (Defendant) was not [licensed] [invitéd] to enter the [structure] [conveyance].] [The premises were not open to the public at the time of the entering.]

Give if applicable.

If the [license] [invitation] to enter was obtained by (defendant’s) trick or fraud or deceit, then the [license] [invitation] to enter was not valid.

If (defendant) entered premises that were open to the . public, but then entered an area of the premises that [he] [she] knew or should have known was not open to the public, (defendant) committed a burglary if [he] [she] entered that non-public area with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] in that non-public area.

Give if applicable. § 810.07 Fla. Stat.

You may infer that (defendant) had the intent to commit a crime inside a [structure] [conveyance] if the [entering] [attempted entering] of the [structure] [conveyance] was done stealthily and without the consent of the owner or occupant.

The entry necessary need not be the whole body of the defendant. It is sufficient if the defendant, with the intent to commit a crime, extends any part of [his] [her] body into the [structure] [conveyance].

Give if the information or indictment charges remaining with the intent to commit an offense: ■

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

1. (Defendant) had permission or consent to enter a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession of (person alleged).

2. (Defendant), after entering the [structure] [conveyance], remained therein

Give 2a, 2b, or 2c as applicable.

a. surreptitiously and with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] inside the [structure] [conveyance].

b. after permission to remain had been withdrawn and with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] inside the [structure] [conveyance],

c. with the intent to commit or attempt to commit a [forcible felony] [ (the forcible felony alleged) ] inside the [structure] [conveyance].

The offense intended cannot be trespass or burglary. Forcible felonies are listed in § 776.08 Fla. Stat.

Proof of intent.

The intent with which an act is done is an operation of the mind and, therefore, is not always capable of direct and positive proof. It may be established by circumstantial evidence like any other fact in a case.

Even though an unlawful [entering] [remaining in] a [structure] [conveyance] is proved, if the evidence does not establish that it was done with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass], the defendant must be found not guilty of burglary.

Proof of possession of stolen property.

Proof of possession by an accused of property recently stolen by means of a burglary, unless satisfactorily explained, may justify a conviction of burglary if the circumstances of the burglary and of the possession of the stolen property convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the burglary.

Definitions; give as applicable.

§ 810.011(1), Fla. Stat.

“Structure” means any building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, that has a roof over it, and the enclosed space of ground and outbuildings immediately surrounding that structure.

§ 810.011(8), Fla. Stat.

“Conveyance” means any motor vehicle, ship, vessel, railroad car, trailer, aircraft or sleeping car; and to enter a conveyance includes taking apart any portion of the conveyance.

Burglary enhancements:

With an assault.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) assaulted any person. An assault is an intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to another, at a time when the defendant appeared to have the ability to carry out the threat and [his] [her] act created a well-founded fear in the other person that the violence was about to take place.

With a battery.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) battered any person. A battery is an actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against that person’s will or the intentional causing of bodily harm to another person.

While armed.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) was armed or armed [himself] [herself] within the [structure] [conveyance] with [explosives] [a dangerous weapon].

Definitions. Give as applicable. § 790.001(5), Fla. Stat. See exceptions in § 790.001(5)(a)-(d), Fla. Stat.

“Explosive” means any chemical compound or mixture that has the property of yielding readily to combustion or oxidation upon application of heat, flame, or shock, including but not limited to dynamite, nitroglycerin, trinitrotoluene, or ammonium nitrate when combined with other ingredients to form an explosive mixture, blasting caps, and detonators.

A “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. It is not necessary for the State to prove that the defendant intended to use or was willing to use the weapon in furtherance of the burglary in order for a weapon to constitute a “dangerous weapon.”

To “arm” oneself during the course of a burglary includes possessing a firearm, whether loaded with ammunition or not, at any time during the course of committing the burglary.

Structure or conveyance is a dwelling.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the [structure] [conveyance] [entered] [remained in] was a dwelling.

Definition. Give as applicable.

“Dwelling” means a building [or conveyance] of any kind, whether such building [or conveyance] is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the enclosed space of ground and outbuildings immediately surrounding it. For purposes of burglary, a “dwelling”. includes an attached porch or attached garage.

Human being in structure or conveyance.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, there was another human being in the [structure] [conveyance], at the time [he] [she] [entered] [remained in] the [structure] [conveyance].

Offense intended is theft of a controlled substance.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine whether the State has proved beyond, a reasonable doubt that the offense intended to be committed therein was theft of a controlled substance. Pursuant to Florida law, (name of controlled substance) is a controlled substance. A theft occurs when a person knowingly and unlawfully obtains or uses or endeavors to obtain or use the property of the victim and does so with the intent to, either temporarily or permanently, deprive the victim of his or her right to the property or any benefit from it or to appropriate the property of the victim to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it.

Traveling from county of residence into another, county with intent jo commit a burglary and with purpose to thwart law enforcement efforts to track stolen property. § 84.3.22, Fla. Stat.

If you find (defendant) guilty of [Burglary] [Attempted Burglary] [Solicitation to Commit Burglary] [Conspiracy to Commit Burglary], you must also de termine whether the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that:

1. (Defendant) had a county of residence within Florida; and

2. (Defendant) travelled any distance with the intent to commit a burglary in a county in Florida other than [his] [her] county of residence; and

3. The purpose of (defendant’s) travel was to thwart law enforcement attempts to track items stolen in the burglary.

“County of residence” means the county within this state in which a person resides.

Evidence of a person’s county of residence includes, but is not limited to:

1. The address on a person’s driver license or state identification card;

2. Records of real property or mobile home ownership;

3. Records of a lease agreement for residential property;

4. The county in which a person’s motor vehicle is registered;

5. The county in which a person is enrolled in an educational institution; ■

6. The county in which a person is employed.

Dwelling or structure with use of motor vehicle or damage.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) entered a [dwelling] [structure] and

1. used a motor vehicle as an instrumentality, other than merely as a getaway vehicle, to assist in committing the offense, and thereby damaged the [dwelling] [structure].

2. caused damage to the [dwelling] [structure] [property within the [dwelling] [structure]], in excess of $1,000.

Authorized emergency vehicle.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the conveyance [entered] [remained in] was an authorized emergency vehicle.

Definition. See § 816.003, Fla. Stat.

An “authorized emergency vehicle” is a vehicle of the fire department (fire patrol), police vehicles, and such ambulances and emergency vehicles of municipal departments, public service corporations operated'by private corporations, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Health, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Corrections as are designated or authorized by their respective department or the chief of police of an incorporated city or any sheriff of a county.

State of emergency.

The definitions of structure, dwelling, and conveyance are different for counties where a state of emergency has been declared under chapter 252. See § 810.011(1), (2), and (8), Fla. Stat.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether

1. the burglary was committed within a county that was subject to a state of emergency that had been declared by the governor under chapter 252, the “State Emergency Management Act,”

and

2. the perpetration of the burglary was facilitated by conditions arising from the emergency.

Definition.

The term “conditions arising from the emergency” means civil unrest, power outages, curfews, voluntary or mandatory evacuations, or a reduction in the presence of or response time for first responders or homeland security personnel.

§ 810.011(4), Fla. Stat.

When the compounded offense of burglary with an assault or burglary with a battery is charged and the jury convicts on the lesser included offense of trespass, the jury can also consider a second conviction on the lesser included offenses of assault or battery depending on the crime charged. See Gian-Grasso v. State, 899 So.2d 392 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005).

Possession

To “possess” means-to-have personal charge-of or exercise -the right of ownership,-management, or control over the thing possessed,

Possession may be actual or constructive..If-a thing is in the-hand of, or on the-person, or in a bag-or-container in the hand of or on the person,-or-is-so close as to be -w-ithin-ready-reach and is under--the control of the person, it-is-in the actual possession of that person.

If athing-is-jn-a place over which the person has control-or-in-which the person -has-hidden or concealed -it,-it is-in the-constructive possession-of that per-

Possession may be joint, that-⅛4wo or more persons -nmy-jointl-y^-have-pos-session-of-an-article, exercising- control over — it,—In that case, each of-those persons-is considered to be in possession

If a person-has-esdusive possession of a thing, knowledge-of-its-presence-ntay be-inferr-ed or assumed.

If a person -does-not-have exclusive possession of a thing, knowledge-of-its presence may not be inferred or--assumed.

Possession.

There are two types of possession: 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.

Mere proximity to an object is not sufficient to éstablish 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 [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] or

b. was within ready reach of the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was under [his] [her] control, or

c.had exclusive control of the place where the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located,

you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and had the ability to control [it] [them].

If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had knowledge of the presence of the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] 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 [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] and had the ability to control [it] [them] if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located, and the [lottery ticket] [coupon, share, or token evidencing some interest in a lottery] was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant.

If there is evidence of an exception referred to at the end of § 81.9.09(1), Fla.— Stat.L in § 849.092, Fla. Stat., § 849.0931, Fla, Stat., er-§ 849.0935, Fla. Stat., or in § 849.161, Fla. Stat., an appropriate instruction should he given.
