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, on December 27, 2012, the Committee filed its report in this case, proposing amendments to the standard criminal jury instructions. The Committee received comments from two assistant public defenders and the Florida Public Defender Association. The Committee declined to change its proposals upon review of the comments. Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments received by the Committee, we authorize for publication and use the following amended and new instructions as proposed by the Committee: 11.13 (Voyeurism); 11.13(a)-(b) (Video Voyeurism); 11.13(c)-(d) (Video Voyeurism Dissemination); 11.13(e)-(g) (Commercial Video Voyeurism); 11.13(h) (Voyeurism Involving Certain Aged Minors or Defendants); 11.17(a) (Soliciting for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices); 11.17(b) (Soliciting Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian of a Child for Unlawful Sexual Conduct Using Computer Services or Devices); 11.17(c) (Traveling to Meet a Minor); 11.17(d) (Traveling to Meet a Minor Facilitated by a Parent, Legal Guardian, or Custodian); 13.5 (Trespass on School Property with a Firearm/Weapon); 15.1 (Robbery); 15.3 (Home-Invasion Robbery); 16.1 (Aggravated Child Abuse); 16.2 [Reserved]; 16.3 (Child Abuse); and 16.5-16.6 (Neglect of a Child).

We authorize for publication and use amended instructions 15.2 (Carjacking) and 15.4 (Robbery by Sudden Snatching) as proposed by the Committee, but with one minor modification: we include the definition of “weapon” that is included in instructions 15.1 (Robbery) and 15.3 (Home-Invasion Robbery).

The new and amended instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are 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. 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.

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.

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.

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].

Definitions.

Assault. § 78J/..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 victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place.

Fear. Give if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997).

If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the victim need not be shown.

In the course of the taking.

“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 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 against the victim, the taking does not constitute robbery but may still constitute theft.

Title to property. Give if applicable.

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. Give if applicable.

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.

If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of robbery, then 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.

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.

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 U), Fla. Stat.) ]

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.

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.

With other weapon.

If you find that the defendant carried a weapon that was not a [firearm] or a [weapon] in the course of committing the robbery, you should find [him][her] guilty of robbery 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.

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 defined as (adapt from §-⅞⅜&⅜⅛¾¾), Fla. Stat., as required -by-allegations-^

A weapon-is a-“deadly-weapon” if it is used-oi — threatened to be used in a way likely to-produce-death-or great bodily

Comments

For the crime of robbery, a jury can convict 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. 1st DCA 2011), and Stuckey v. State, 972 So.2d 918 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007).

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 the motor vehicle from the person or custody of (victim).
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.

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 victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place.

Fear. Give if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997).

If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the victim need not be shown.

In the course of the taking.

“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 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 against (victim), the taking does not constitute robbery but may still constitute grand theft motor vehicle.

Title to motor vehicle. Give if applicable

In order for a taking of the motor vehicle to be carjacking, it is not necessary that the victim be the actual owner of the motor vehicle. It is sufficient if the victim has the custody of the motor vehicle 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 carjacking 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 carjacking if a person, with intent to take the motor vehicle from a victim, administers any substance to the victim so that [he][she] becomes unconscious and then takes the motor vehicle from the person or custody of the victim.

Enhanced penalty. Give if applicable.

If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of carjacking, then you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt if “in the course of committing the carjacking” the defendant carried some kind of weapon. An act is “in the course of committing the carjacking” if it occurs in an attempt to commit carjacking or in flight after the attempt or commission.

With a firearm or deadly weapon.

If you find that the defendant carried a firearm or other deadly weapon in the course of committing the carjacking, you should find [him][her] guilty of carjacking with a firearm or deadly weapon.

A “firearm” means any weapon [including a starter gun] which will, is designed to, or may readijy 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.

With no firearm or weapon.

If you find that the defendant carried no firearm or weapon in the course of committing the carjacking, but did commit the carjacking, you should find [him] [her] guilty only of carjacking.

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.

D<sfi/mtion&-

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.

Nowdefine-r-obbery by-reading 15.1.

A robbery consists of the following:

1. (Defendant) took money or property from the person or custody of another.

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 of [his][her] right to the property or any benefit from it] [appropriate the property of another 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 victim a well-founded fear that violence is about to take place.

Fear. Give if applicable. Smithson v. State, 689 So.2d 1226 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997).

If the circumstances were such as to ordinarily induce fear in the mind of a reasonable person, then the victim may be found to have been in fear, and actual fear on the part of the victim need not be shown.

In the course of the taking.

“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 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 against (victim), the taking does not constitute robbery but may still constitute theft.

Title to property. Give if applicable.

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. Give if applicable.

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.

Definition. Jacobs v. State, 41 So. 3d 1004 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010).

“Dwelling” means a building [or conveyance] of any kind, including any attached porch, 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. The enclosure need not be continuous and may have an opening for entering and exiting.

Enhanced penalty. Give if applicable.

If you find the defendant guilty of the crime of home-invasion robbery, then you must further determine beyond a reasonable doubt if “in the course of committing the home-invasion robbery” the defendant carried some kind of weapon.

With a firearm.

If you find that the defendant carried a firearm in the course of committing the home-invasion robbery, you should find [him] [her] guilty of home-invasion robbery 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 § 7-90.001(1), Fla. Stat.)] [A destructive device is (insert definition in § 790.001 (tí, Fla. Stat.) ]

With a deadly weapon.

If you find that the defendant carried a (deadly weapon described in charge) in the course of committing the home-invasion robbery and that the (deadly weapon described in charge) was a deadly weapon, you should find [him][her] guilty of home-invasion robbery 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.

With other weapon.

If you find that the defendant carried a weapon that was not a [firearm] or a [deadly weapon] in the course of committing the home-invasion robbery, you should find [him][her] guilty of home-invasion robbery 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.

If you find that the defendant carried no firearm or weapon in the course of committing the home-invasion robbery, but did commit the home-invasion robbery, you should find [him][her] guilty

A “firearm” -is-defined as-(adapt from

“Willfully” means knowingly, intentionally, and purposely.

Give if element lcis alleged. Fla. Stat. § 827.03(c).

“Maliciously” means wrongfully, intentionally, and without legal justification or excuse. Maliciousness may be established by circumstances from which one could conclude that a reasonable parent would not have engaged in the damaging acts toward the child for any valid reason and that the primary purpose of the acts was to cause the victim unjustifiable pain or injury.

Give in-alFcases if element 1(e)- is alleged. Fla. Stat. § 827.03(l)(b).

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 opinions in Dixon v. United States, 518 U.S. 1 [126 S.Ct. 2137, 165 L.Ed.2d 299] (2006), for further guidance.

It is not a crime for [a parent] [a person who is acting as the lawful guardian] of a child to impose reasonable physical discipline on a child for misbehavior under the circumstances even though physical injury resulted from the discipline.

If burden of persuasion is on the defendant:

If there is a violation of that duty, without any conscious intention to harm, that violation is negligence. But culpable negligence is more than a failure to use ordinary care for others. For negligence to be called culpable negligence, it must be gross and flagrant. The negligence must be committed with an utter disregard for the safety of others.
