Supreme Court of Florida
In Re: Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases - Report 2018-14
April 11, 2019267 So. 3d 980
Summary
The court authorized proposed amendments to five standard criminal jury instructions for publication and use. The amendments add a uniform definition of great bodily harm, update the firearm instruction to reflect statutory definitions, and add a definition of bona fide to the human-trafficking instruction. The authorization becomes effective when the opinion becomes final, but the court expressed no opinion on the legal correctness or applicability of the instructions.
