Supreme Court of Florida

In Re: Amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851

January 29, 2015156 So. 3d 1036

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court adopted an amendment to Rule 3.851, removing the requirement that a capital‑postconviction motion be accompanied by a signed oath from the defendant. The change aligns subdivision (g)(2) with the earlier amendment to subdivision (e)(1) that eliminated the oath requirement.
