In Re: Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases - Report 2016-07
May 10, 2018242 So. 3d 327
Summary
The Court authorized an amended standard jury instruction concerning human trafficking by a parent, legal guardian, or person with custody or control of a minor for publication and use. The amendment added definitions and a provision stating that a minor victim's lack of chastity, willingness, or consent is not a defense. The Court expressly declined to opine on the instruction's legal correctness and preserved the ability to request alternative instructions or challenge the instruction.
