In Re STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES-REPORT NO. 2016-02

PER CURIAM. 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 new and amended standard instructions for publication and use. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const. The Committee proposes amending the following existing standard criminal jury instructions: 3.12 (Verdict); and 27.1 (Escape). In addition, the Committee proposes the following new standard criminal jury instructions: 2.8 (Recorded Interview (Effect of Law Enforcement Statements on the Defendant)); 11.22 (Giving Obscene Material to a Minor); 20.22 (Unlawful Filing of False [Documents] [Records] Against [Real] [Personal] Property); 22.17 (Unlawful Operation of a Drawing by Chance); and 22.18 (Unlawful Operation of a Game Promotion). The Committee published its proposals in The Florida Bar News. Two comments were received by the Committee, and the Committee received a telephone call from a former member of the Committee. Based upon one of the comments and the telephone call, the Committee revised its proposals to instructions 2.8 and 11.22. The Committee also revised its proposal to instruction 3.12 post-publication. The Court did not publish the proposals after they were filed. The more significant changes to the standard criminal jury instructions are discussed below. First, new instruction 2.8 is a standard limiting instruction to cover police opinions in a recorded interview with a defendant. The instruction explains to jurors that they are about to watch or hear a recorded interview containing opinions and statements from a law enforcement officer to the defendant. Jurors will then be instructed that these assertions or opinions are not to be considered for their truth, but are only pertinent to explain the reactions or responses of the defendant. Next, existing instruction 3.12 is amended to clarify that upon certain counts a defendant may be found guilty of more than one lesser-included offense. In addition, the sample verdict form pertaining to death penalty cases was removed, because the form is no longer usable in light of the amendment to the death penalty statute, section 921.141, by virtue of chapter 2016-13, section 13, Laws of Florida. Next, the amendment to existing instruction 27.1 covers the circumstance when a defendant escapes from a work release program. The new alternative element, 2(d), requires a jury to find that, at the time of the offense, the defendant was participating in a work release program and either willfully failed to return to his or her place of confinement within the time prescribed or willfully failed to remain within the extended limits of his or her confinement. In addition, the word “Attempted” is added in brackets in the title *235 of the offense, “Escape.” Finally, the phrase “attempted to escape by (read overt act from charge)” is placed in brackets vrithin element 3 because case law provides that the offense of Attempted Escape is a criminal violation distinct from Escape. The remaining amendments to the standard jury instructions are straightforward and generally track the language of the offenses instructed upon. Having considered the Committee’s report and the comments' submitted to the Committee, we authorize for publication and use the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee. The new and amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use. 1 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. LABARGA, C.J., and PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, CANADY, POLSTON, and PERRY, JJ., concur. APPENDIX 2.8 RECORDED INTERVIEW (EFFECT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT STATEMENTS ON THE DEFENDANT) Police opinions and statements regarding quilt are generally inadmissible and must be redacted from recordings introduced into evidence unless redaction would render the defendant’s relevant admissions incomprehensible. If a recorded interview cannot be appropriately redacted, the trial judge must, upon request, give the following limiting instruction immediately before the recorded interview is played for the jury. You are about to [hear] [watch] a recorded interview , that contains opinions and statements by (name of law enforcement offlcer(s)) to (defendant). These opinions and statements are pertinent only to explain the reactions and responses they elicit. You are not to consider these opinions and statements by the police officer as true, but only to establish the context of (defendant’s) reactions and responses. Jackson v.

An “arrest” takes place when the arresting officer intends to arrest; the arresting officer actually or constructively seizes the person to be arrested; the officer’s intént to arrest is communicated by the arresting officer to the person to be arrested; and the person to be arrested understands that communication. An “arrest” does not require that the law enforcement officer complete the act of acquiring total physical control over the person to be arrested. .
