  IN RE: STANDARD JURY INSTRUCTIONS IN CRIMINAL CASES—
            INSTRUCTIONS 7.8, 7.8(a), AND 11.1 - 11.6(a).

                                   [April 14, 2016]

PER CURIAM.

      The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal

Cases (Committee) has submitted a report proposing amendments to eight existing

standard criminal jury instructions and the addition of one new instruction. We

have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

      The Committee proposes amending existing instructions 7.8 – Driving

Under the Influence Manslaughter; 7.8(a) – Boating Under the Influence

Manslaughter; 11.1 – Sexual Battery—Victim Less than 12 Years of Age; 11.2 –

Sexual Battery—Victim 12 Years of Age or Older – Great Force or Deadly

Weapon; 11.3 – Sexual Battery—Under Specified Circumstances; 11.4 – Sexual

Battery; 11.5 – Solicitation of a Child to Engage in an Act that Constitutes Sexual

Battery by Person in Familial or Custodial Authority; and 11.6 – Engaging in an
Act Which Constitutes Sexual Battery Upon or With a Child 12 Years of Age or

Older but Younger than 18 Years of Age by Person in Familial or Custodial

Authority.1 The Committee also proposes adding new instruction 11.6(a) –

Engaging in an Act Which [Constituted Sexual Battery] [Injured the Sexual Organ

of Another in an Attempt to Commit Sexual Battery] by a Person in Familial or

Custodial Authority Upon a Person Less than 12 Years of Age.

      Before filing its report with the Court, the Committee published its proposals

for comment. Upon consideration of the comments received, and upon further

review, the Committee modified some of its proposals. The Committee did not

republish its proposals.

      After the Committee filed its report, the Court published the Committee’s

proposals for comment. Comments were received from the Florida Association of




      1. The Committee’s proposals in this case were initially filed in In re:
Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases—Report No. 2015-01, Case No.
SC15-368, along with the Committee’s proposals to add new instruction 22.16 and
amend existing instructions 20.3 through 20.12. By order dated March 17, 2015,
we severed the proposals in this case from Case No. SC15-368 and directed that
they be considered in a separate proceeding.

       Also, the Committee’s proposals in this case initially included a proposal to
add new instruction 1.5 (Questioning in Capital Trials (Death Penalty)). We
granted the Committee’s request to withdraw this proposal in light of the recent
changes to Florida’s death penalty sentencing scheme that have occurred as a result
of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Hurst v. Florida, 136 S. Ct. 616 (2016),
and the enactment of chapter 2016-13, Laws of Florida.

                7.8 DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
                            MANSLAUGHTER
      §§316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)3, 316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3., Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Driving under the Influence Manslaughter, the
State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

     1.    (Defendant) drove or was in actual physical control of a vehicle.

     2.    While driving or in actual physical control of the vehicle,
           (defendant)
     Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
           a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a chemical
                 substance] [a controlled substance] to the extent that [his]
                 [her] normal faculties were impaired.

            b.      had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .08 or more grams of
                    alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210 liters of breath].

     3.    As a result of operating the vehicle, (defendant) caused or
           contributed to the cause of the death of [(victim)] [an unborn
           quick child].

           Give if §§316.193(3)(a)(b)(c)3b 316.193(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3.b.,
     Fla. Stat., is charged.
            If you find the defendant guilty of Driving under the Influence
     Manslaughter, you must further determine whether the State proved
     beyond a reasonable doubt that:

     4.    (Defendant), at the time of the crash,

                 a. knew or should have known that the crash occurred

           and

                 b. failed to give information as required by law

           and

                                        -5-
                 c. failed to render aid as required by law.

      Florida law requires that the driver of any vehicle involved in a crash
resulting in injury to or death of any person, or damage to any vehicle or
other property which is driven or attended by any person, must supply [his]
[her] name, address, and the registration number of the vehicle [he] [she] is
driving to any person injured in the crash or to the driver or occupant of or
person attending any vehicle or other property damaged in the crash. Upon
request and if available, the driver shall also exhibit [his] [her] license or
permit to drive.

       The driver shall give the same information and, upon request, exhibit
his or her license or permit, to any police officer who is at the scene of the
crash or who is investigating the crash.

      The driver shall also render reasonable assistance to any person
injured in the crash, including carrying, or the making of arrangements for
the carrying, of such person to a physician, surgeon, or hospital for medical or
surgical treatment if it is apparent that treatment is necessary, or if such
carrying is requested by the injured person.

      In the event none of the persons specified above are in condition to
receive the information to which they otherwise would be entitled, and no
police officer is present, the driver of a vehicle involved in the crash, after
trying to fulfill the requirements listed above as much as possible, shall
immediately report the crash to the nearest office of a duly authorized police
authority and supply the information specified above.

       Give if applicable. (Offenses committed prior to October 1, 2008, alcohol
level of .20 or higher.)
       If you find the defendant guilty of Driving under the Influence
Manslaughter, you must also determine whether the State has proven beyond
a reasonable doubt whether:

            a.      the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .15 or
                    higher while driving or in actual physical control of the
                    vehicle.




                                       -6-
            b.    the defendant was accompanied in the vehicle by a person
                  under the age of 18 years at the time of the driving under
                  the influence.

       Definitions. Give as applicable.
       “Vehicle” is every device in, upon, or by which any person or property
is or may be transported or drawn upon a highway, except devices used
exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.

      “Normal faculties” include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear,
walk, talk, judge distances, drive an automobile, make judgments, act in
emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and
physical acts of our daily lives.

      “Actual physical control of a vehicle” means the defendant must be
physically in or on the vehicle and have the capability to operate the vehicle,
regardless of whether [he] [she] is actually operating the vehicle at the time.

      “Alcoholic beverages” are considered to be substances of any kind and
description which contain alcohol.

      § 877.111(1), Fla. Stat.
      (____________) is a chemical substance under Florida law.

      Chapter 893, Fla. Stat.
      (_____________) is a controlled substance under Florida law.

      § 775.021(5), Fla. Stat.
      An “unborn quick child” is a viable fetus means a member of the
species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, and who is carried in the
womb. A fetus is viable when it becomes capable of meaningful life outside
the womb through standard medical measures.

       Give if applicable. § 775.021(5)(b), Fla. Stat.
       Driving Under the Influence Manslaughter does not require the State to
prove that the defendant knew or should have known that (victim) was
pregnant or that the defendant intended to cause the death of the unborn
child.




                                      -7-
       When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the
presumptions of impairment established by §§ 316.1934(2)(a), (2)(b), and (2)(c),
Fla. Stat.
       1.   If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
            physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or
            breath-alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall presume that the
            defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
            the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired; but this
            presumption may be overcome by other evidence demonstrating
            that the defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages
            to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

      2.    If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
            physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or
            breath-alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than .08, that fact
            does not give rise to any presumption that the defendant was or
            was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent
            that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired. In such cases, you
            may consider that evidence along with other evidence in
            determining whether the defendant was under the influence of
            alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties
            were impaired.

      3.    If you find from the evidence that while driving or in actual
            physical control of a motor vehicle, the defendant had a blood or
            breath-alcohol level of .08 or more, that evidence would be
            sufficient by itself to establish that the defendant was under the
            influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her]
            normal faculties were impaired. But this evidence may be
            contradicted or rebutted by other evidence demonstrating that the
            defendant was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to
            the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

      Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
      It is a defense to the charge of Driving under the Influence
Manslaughter if at the time of the alleged offense, the vehicle was inoperable.
However, it is not a defense if the defendant was driving under the influence
before the vehicle became inoperable. Therefore, if you are not convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was operable at the time of the
alleged offense, you should find the defendant not guilty. However, if you are

                                      -8-
convinced that the vehicle was operable at the time of the alleged offense, then
you should find the defendant guilty, if all the other elements of the charge
have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

        §§327.35(3)(a)(b)(c)3 327.35(3)(a), (3)(b), and (3)(c)3., Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Boating under the Influence Manslaughter, the
State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.    (Defendant) operated a vessel.

      2.    While operating the vessel, (defendant)

      Give 2a or 2b or both as applicable.
            a.    was under the influence of [alcoholic beverages] [a chemical
                  substance] [a controlled substance] to the extent that [his]
                  [her] normal faculties were impaired.

                  alcohol per [100 milliliters of blood] [210 liters of breath].

      3.    As a result of operating the vessel, (defendant) caused or
            contributed to the cause of the death of [(victim)] [an unborn
            child].

      Stat., is charged.
      If you find the defendant guilty of Boating under the Influence
Manslaughter, you must further determine whether the State proved beyond
a reasonable doubt that:

      4.    (Defendant), at the time of the accident,

            a.    knew or should have known that the accident occurred

                  and

            b.    failed to give information as required by law

                  and

            c.    failed to render aid as required by law.


                                      - 10 -
      Florida law requires that the operator of a vessel involved in a collision,
accident, or other casualty, to render to other persons affected by the collision,
accident, or other casualty such assistance as is practicable and necessary in
order to save them from or minimize any danger caused by the collision,
accident, or other casualty, so far as [he] [she] can do so without serious
danger to the operators own vessel, crew, and passengers.

      Florida law also requires the operator to give [his] [her] name, address,
and identification of [his] [her] vessel in writing to any person injured and to
the owner of any property damaged in the collision, accident, or other
casualty.

       In cases of collision, accident, or other casualty resulting in death or
medical treatment beyond immediate first aid, Florida law requires that the
operator, without delay and by the quickest means available, give notice of the
accident to one of the following agencies: the Division of Law Enforcement of
the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; the sheriff of the county
within which the accident occurred; or the police chief of the municipality
within which the accident occurred.

      Give if applicable.
      If you find the defendant guilty of Boating under the Influence
Manslaughter, you must also determine whether the State has proven beyond
a reasonable doubt whether:

            a.    the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-alcohol level of .20 or
                  higher while operating the vessel.

            b.    the defendant was accompanied in the vessel by a person
                  under the age of 18 years at the time of the boating under
                  the influence.

      Definitions. Give as applicable.
      State v. Davis, 110 So. 3d 27 (Fla. 2d DCA 2013).
      “Vessel” means a boat that is subject to a license tax for operationand
includes every description of watercraft, barge, and airboat, other than a
seaplane, on the water used or capable of being used as a means of
transportation on water.




                                      - 11 -
      “Normal faculties” include but are not limited to the ability to see, hear,
walk, talk, judge distances, operate a vessel, make judgments, act in
emergencies and, in general, to normally perform the many mental and
physical acts of our daily lives.

      “Operate” means to be in charge of or in command of or in actual
physical control of a vessel upon the waters of this state, or to exercise control
over or to have responsibility for a vessels navigation or safety while the vessel
is underway upon the waters of this state, or to control or steer a vessel being
towed by another vessel upon the waters of the state.

      “Alcoholic beverages” are considered to be substances of any kind and
description which contain alcohol.

      (            ) is a controlled substance under Florida law. Ch. 893, Fla.
      Stat.

      (            ) is a chemical substance under Florida law. § 877.111(1),
      Fla. Stat.

      § 775.021(5), Fla. Stat.
      An “unborn child” means a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any
stage of development, and who is carried in the womb.

       Give if applicable. § 775.021(5)(b), Fla. Stat.
       Boating Under the Influence Manslaughter does not require the State to
prove that the defendant knew or should have known that (victim) was
pregnant or that the defendant intended to cause the death of the unborn
child.

       When appropriate, give one or more of the following instructions on the
presumptions of impairment established by §§ 327.354(2)(a), (2)(b), and (2)(c),
Fla. Stat.
     1.    If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual
           physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-
           alcohol level of .05 or less, you shall presume that the defendant
           was not under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that
           [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired; but this presumption
           may be overcome by other evidence demonstrating that the


                                      - 12 -
          defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the
          extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

    2.    If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual
          physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath]-
          alcohol level in excess of .05 but less than .08, that fact does not give
          rise to any presumption that the defendant was or was not under
          the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her]
          normal faculties were impaired. In such cases, you may consider
          that evidence along with other evidence in determining whether the
          defendant was under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the
          extent that [his] [her] normal faculties were impaired.

    3.    If you find from the evidence that while operating or in actual
          physical control of the vessel, the defendant had a [blood] [breath] -
          alcohol level of .08 or more, that evidence would be sufficient by
          itself to establish that the defendant was under the influence of
          alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her] normal faculties
          were impaired. But this evidence may be contradicted or rebutted
          by other evidence demonstrating that the defendant was not under
          the influence of alcoholic beverages to the extent that [his] [her]
          normal faculties were impaired.

      Defense of inoperability; give if applicable.
      It is a defense to the charge of Boating under the Influence
Manslaughter if the vessel was inoperable at the time of the alleged offense,
unless the defendant was controlling or steering the vessel while it was being
towed by another vessel upon the waters of the state. However, it is not a

                                      Comments

       If the ages of either the defendant or the alleged victim are not in dispute, the
parties may agree to pare down the necessary lesser-included offenses.

       *It is unclear whether the “encouraging, forcing, or enticing any person less
than 16 years of age to engage in … any other act involving sexual activity” part of
Lewd or Lascivious Battery in § 800.04(4)(a)2., Fla. Stat., is a necessary lesser-
included offense of § 794.011(2)(a), Fla. Stat., or § 794.011(2)(b), Fla. Stat. If so,
the judge should instruct only on “sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic
abuse, sexual bestiality, or prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the
charging document.

       In § 794.011(8)(c), Fla. Stat., the legislature created a crime that mirrors this
crime except 1) the phrase “engages in any act … which constitutes sexual battery”
is used and 2) there is an additional element that the defendant was in a position of
familial or custodial authority to the victim. See Instruction 11.6(a).

       AGE OR OLDER — GREAT FORCE OR DEADLY WEAPON
                       § 794.011(3), Fla. Stat.

      To prove the crime of Sexual Battery upon a Person 12 Years of Age or
Older with the Use of [a Deadly Weapon] [or] [Physical Force Likely to Cause
Serious Personal Injury], the State must prove the following four elements
beyond a reasonable doubt:

     1.    (Victim) was 12 years of age or older.

     Give 1a and/or 1b as applicable.
     2.1. a.     [(Defendant) committed an act [upon] [with] (victim) in
                 which the sexual organ of the [(defendant)] [(victim)]
                 penetrated or had union with the [anus] [vagina] [mouth] of
                 the [(victim)] [(defendant)].]

            b.    (Defendant) committed an act [upon] [with] (victim) in
                  which the [anus] [vagina] of [(victim)] [(defendant)] was
                  penetrated by an object. The definition of “an object”
                  includes a finger.

     Give 2a and/or 2b as applicable.
     3.2. (Defendant), in the process,

           a.     [used or threatened to use a deadly weapon].

           b.     [used actual physical force likely to cause serious personal
                  injury].

     4.3. The act was done without the consent of (victim).

     4.    At the time of the offense, (victim) was 12 years of age or older.

      Definitions.
      Give in all cases. § 794.011(1)(a), Fla. Stat.

     Give if applicable.
     § 794.022(4), Fla. Stat.
     Evidence of the victim’s (victim’s) mental incapacity or defect, if any,
may be considered in determining whether there was an intelligent, knowing,
and voluntary consent.

      § 794.011(1)(c), Fla. Stat.
      “Mentally incapacitated” means that a person is rendered temporarily
incapable of appraising or controlling his or her conduct due to the influence
of a narcotic, anesthetic, or intoxicating substance administered to that person
without his or her consent, or due to any other act committed upon that
person without his or her consent.

      § 794.011(1)(b), Fla. Stat.
      “Mentally defective” means that a person suffers from a mental disease
or defect that renders that person temporarily or permanently incapable of
appraising the nature of his or her conduct.

      Lakey v. State, 113 So. 3d 90 (Fla. 5th DCA 2013).
      “An object” includes a finger.

      “Union” means contact.

      Give if 32a alleged.
      A weapon is a “deadly weapon” if it is used or threatened to be used in a
way likely to produce death or great bodily harm.

      Give if 32b alleged.

       If the ages of either the defendant or the alleged victim are not in dispute, the
parties may agree to pare down the necessary lesser-included offenses. The
offenses in §§ 794.011(5)(a) – (5)(c), Fla. Stat., however, are included in any
sexual battery offense charged under § 794.011(3), Fla. Stat., according to
§ 794.011(6)(a), Fla. Stat.

       *It is unclear whether the “encouraging, forcing, or enticing any person less
than 16 years of age to engage in … any other act involving sexual activity” part of
Lewd or Lascivious Battery in § 800.04(4)(a)2., Fla. Stat., is a necessary lesser-
included offense of § 794.011(3), Fla. Stat. If so, the judge should instruct only on
“sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, or
prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the charging document.

     There are also sex-related crimes that could be Category 2 offenses

       See Instruction 11.16 or 11.16(a) if the State charged that the defendant
qualified as a Dangerous Sexual Felony Offender, pursuant to § 794.0115, Fla.
Stat.

        The 2014 legislature added a sentencing multiplier to § 921.0024(1)(b), Fla.
Stat., for sexual battery crimes involving a defendant 18 years of age or older and a
victim younger than 18 years of age. If the State has charged and intends to use this
sentencing multiplier, a special instruction will be necessary for the jury to make
additional findings regarding ages.

      This instruction was adopted in 1981 and was amended in 1987 [508 So.2d

       * If the ages of either the defendant or the alleged victim are not in dispute,
the parties may agree to pare down the necessary lesser-included offenses. The
offenses in §§ 794.011(5)(a) - (5)(d), Fla. Stat., are included in any sexual battery
offense charged under §§ 794.011(4)(a) - (4)(d), Fla. Stat., respectively, pursuant
to §§ 794.011(6)(b) - (6)(e), Fla. Stat.

       **It is unclear whether the “encouraging, forcing, or enticing any person less
than 16 years of age to engage in … any other act involving sexual activity” part of
Lewd or Lascivious Battery in § 800.04(4)(a)2., Fla. Stat., is a necessary lesser-
included offense of § 794.011(4), Fla. Stat. If so, the judge should instruct only on
“sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, or
prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the charging document.

     There are also sex-related crimes that could be Category 2 offenses
depending on the charging document and the evidence.

       Element 3g: See s. §§ 943.10(1), (2), (3), (6), (7), (8), (9), Fla. Stat., for the
definition of a law enforcement officer, correctional officer, or correctional
probation officer who must be either certified pursuant to s. § 943.1395, Fla. Stat.,
or an elected officer exempt from certification pursuant to s. § 943.253, Fla. Stat.

       If § 794.011(4)(d), Fla. Stat., is charged, this instruction can be used as a
template with some amendments. Under that statute, the victim must be 12 years of
age or older, the age of the defendant is irrelevant, and most of the alternatives
regarding the prior conviction can probably be proven to the judge at a sentencing
hearing. However, for an enhancement involving a prior conviction for a
Kidnapping or False Imprisonment involving a minor, wherein the defendant
committed a sexual battery or some enumerated lewd act upon the minor during
the course of the kidnapping or false imprisonment, then Apprendi v. New Jersey,
530 U.S. 466 (2000) is likely to require the jury to make certain findings regarding
additional circumstances of the prior conviction.

       See Instruction 11.16 or 11.16(a) if the State charged that the defendant
qualified as a Dangerous Sexual Felony Offender, pursuant to § 794.0115, Fla.
Stat.

      To prove the crime of Solicitation of a Child to Engage in an Act that
Constitutes Sexual Battery by a Person in Familial or Custodial Authority, the
State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

      1.      (Victim) was less than 18 years of age.

      2.      (Defendant) stood in the position of familial or custodial authority
              with regard to (victim).

      3.1. (Defendant)[commanded] [encouraged] [hired] [requested] [tried
           to induce] solicited (victim) to engage in an act which constitutes
           sexual battery. in which:

           a. [the sexual organ of the [(defendant)] [(victim)] would penetrate or
              have union with the [anus] [vagina] [mouth] of the [(victim)]
              [(defendant)]].

           b. [the [anus] [vagina] of [(victim)] [(defendant)] would be penetrated
              by an object].

      2.     At the time of the offense, (victim) was less than 18 years of age.

      3.     At the time of the offense, (defendant) was in a position of familial

Battery, the judge should not instruct on the option of forcing a person to engage in
any sexual act nor should the judge instruct about the acts of sadomasochistic

state’s charging document tracks § 794.011(8)(a), Fla. Stat., the only part of Lewd

enticing a person less than 16 years old to engage in sexual activity.”

       If the ages of either the defendant or the alleged victim are not in dispute, the
parties may agree to pare down the necessary lesser-included offenses.

       *It is unclear whether the “encouraging, forcing, or enticing any person less
than 16 years of age to engage in … any other act involving sexual activity” part of
Lewd or Lascivious Battery in § 800.04(4)(a)2., Fla. Stat., is a necessary lesser-
included offense of § 794.011(8)(b), Fla. Stat. If so, the judge should instruct only
on “sexual activity” and not on “sadomasochistic abuse, sexual bestiality, or
prostitution,” unless those acts are included in the charging document.

     There are also sex-related crimes that could be Category 2 offenses
depending on the charging document and the evidence.

       See Instruction 11.16 or 11.16(a) if the State charged that the defendant
qualified as a Dangerous Sexual Felony Offender, pursuant to § 794.0115, Fla.

       In the event that multiple perpetrators is charged and proven, a special
instruction is necessary. See § 794.023, Fla. Stat.
