Supreme Court of Florida

In Re Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases-Report No. 2010-02

July 1, 201035 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 401

Summary

The court authorized publication and use of revised and new criminal jury instructions, subject to specified modifications. It added and defined mens rea terms, corrected the definition of property in a computer-crime instruction, removed an unnecessary property definition from another, and declined to amend the insanity instruction because the proposal lacked sufficient justification and remained controversial.
