Judge Frederic Rand Wallis, Chair, Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases, Daytona Beach, FL; Judge Jerri Lynn Collins, Past Chair, Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases, Sanford, FL; and Barton Neil Schneider, Staff Liaison, Office of the State Courts Administrator, Tallahassee, FL, for Petitioner.

The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases has submitted proposed changes to the standard jury instructions and asks that the Court authorize the amended standard instructions. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 2(a), Fla. Const.

The Committee proposes amending the following existing standard criminal jury instructions: 25.2 (Sale, Purchase, Manufacture, Delivery, or Possession with Intent to Sell, Purchase, Manufacture, or Deliver a Controlled Substance); 25.3 (Sale, Purchase, Delivery, or Possession in Excess of Ten Grams of a Controlled Substance); 25.4 (Delivery of a Controlled Substance to or Use of Minor); 25.5 (Bringing a Controlled Substance into the State); 25.6 (Sell, Manufacture, Deliver, or Possession with Intent to Sell, Manufacture or Deliver a Controlled Substance in Specified Locations); 25.7 (Possession of a Controlled Substance); 25.8 (Obtaining a Controlled Substance by Fraud, Etc.); 25.9 (Trafficking in Cannabis); 25.10 (Trafficking in Cocaine); 25.11 (Trafficking in [Morphine] [Opium] [Hydromorphone] [Heroin] [ (Specified Substance Alleged) ] ); 25.12 (Trafficking in Phencyclidine); 25.13 (Trafficking in Methaqualone); 25.14 (Use or Possession with Intent to Use Drug Paraphernalia); 25.15 (Delivery, Possession with Intent to Deliver, or Manufacture with Intent to Deliver Drug Paraphernalia); 25.16 (Delivery of Drug Paraphernalia to a Minor); 25.17 (Contraband in County Detention Facility); 25.18 (Contraband in Juvenile [Detention Facility] [Commitment Program] ); 25.20 (Possession of Contraband [In] [Upon the Grounds of] a State Correctional Institution); and 25.21 ( [Introduction] [Removal] of Contraband [Into] [From] a State Correctional Institution). The Committee also proposes the following new jury instructions: 25.11(a) (Trafficking in Hydrocodone); 25.11(b) (Trafficking in Oxycodone); 25.13(a) (Trafficking in [Amphetamine] [Methamphetamine] ); 25.13(b) (Trafficking in Flunitrazepam); 25.13(c) (Trafficking in [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] ); 25.13(d) (Trafficking in Phenethylamines (Includes MDMA)); and 25.13(e) (Trafficking in LSD). The Committee published its proposals in The Florida Bar News. One comment was received by the Committee. The Court did not publish the proposals after they were filed.

Having considered the Committee's report and the comment submitted to the Committee, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee, with one exception, and authorize them for publication and use. While the Committee expressed the belief that the existing explanation of constructive possession in the majority of instructions they sought to amend was deficient, the Court is unaware of any case law that has held the current explanation of constructive possession deficient or that has redefined constructive possession from that in the existing drug trafficking jury instructions. For that reason, we decline to alter the explanation of constructive possession in the jury instructions herein under consideration. The new and amended criminal jury instructions, as set forth in the appendix to this opinion, are hereby authorized for publication and use. 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.

State, 88 So.3d 1060 (Fla. 1 st st DCA 2012); Meme v. State, 72 So.3d 254 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2011). If you find that (defendant): a. had direct physical custody of the substance, [or] b. was within ready reach of the substance and the substance was under [his] [her] control, [or] c. had exclusive control of the place where the substance was located, you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the substance and had the ability power and intention to control it.328 If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where a substance was located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had knowledge of the presence of the substance or the ability power and intention to control it, in the absence of other incriminating evidence. Give if applicable. See Duncan v. State, 986 So.2d 653 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2008). However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the substance and had the ability power and intention to control it if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the substance was located, and the substance was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant. Affirmative defense: Lack of knowledge of illicit nature. Give if applicable there is evidence that the defendant 1) did not know of the presence of the substance or 2) knew of the presence of the substance, but did not know of its illicit nature. § 893.101(2) and (3), Fla.

You are permitted to presume infer that (defendant) was aware of the illicit nature of the controlled substance if you find that [he] [she] knew of the presence of the substance and exercised control or ownership over the substance. Give if applicable. See McMillon v. State, 813 So.2d 56 (Fla.2002) . You are permitted to infer that a person who sells a controlled substance knows of its illicit nature. If you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, and all of the elements of the charge have been proved, you should find [him] [her] guilty of Trafficking in Phencyclidine. If you have a reasonable doubt on the question of whether (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, you should find [him] [her] not guilty of Trafficking in Phencyclidine. See State v. Weller, 590 So.2d 923 (Fla.1991) .If you find the defendant guilty of Trafficking in Phencyclidine, you must further determine by your verdict whether the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that: Enhanced penalty. See § 893.135(1)(d) 1.a. -c., Fla. Stat. to verify the weights or amounts specified in the statute, as determined by the date of the offense. Give if applicable up to extent of charge. a.

[The [phencyclidine] [mixture containing phencyclidine] weighed 200 grams or more but less than 400 grams.] c. [The [phencyclidine] [mixture containing phencyclidine] weighed 400 grams or more.]Lesser Included Offenses Trafficking can be committed by sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery, bringing into this state, or actual or constructive possession of a certain amount of drugs. Each of these alternatives has its own statute for lower quantities of controlled substances. Accordingly, before deciding 329 the appropriate lesser-included offenses, trial judges should review not only the evidence but also the charging document to see what type of trafficking was alleged. For example, if a defendant is charged only with Trafficking via Sale, then Possession of a Controlled Substance should not be given as a lesser-included offense.

Comments There is no crime of Attempted Delivery because the definition of “delivery” in § 893.03(6), Fla. Stat., includes the attempt to transfer from one person to another. There is no crime of attempted conspiracy. Hutchinson v. State, 315 So.2d 546 (Fla. 2d DCA 1975). This instruction was adopted in 2016. 25.13(c) TRAFFICKING IN [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–BUTANEDIOL] § 893.135(1)(h), (1)(i), and (1)(j), Fla. Stat. Certain drugs and chemical substances are by law known as “controlled substances.” [Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) ] [Gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) ] [1,4–Butanediol] [or any mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]] is a controlled substance. To prove the crime of Trafficking in [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol], the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. (Defendant) knowingly [possessed] [sold] [purchased] [manufactured] 339 [delivered] [brought into Florida] a certain substance. 2. The substance was [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] [or a mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]]. 3. The [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] [mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]] weighed 1 kilogram or more. If applicable under the facts of the case and pursuant to § 893.135(2), Fla. Stat., instructions on the following elements 1 and 2 should be given instead of elements 1 and 2 above. For example, if it is alleged that the defendant intended to sell heroin but actually sold GHB, instructions on elements 1 and 2 below would be given. 1. (Defendant) intended to [sell] [purchase] [manufacture] [deliver] [bring into Florida] [possess] (an enumerated controlled substance in § 893.135(1), Fla. Stat.). 2. The defendant actually [sold] [purchased] [manufactured] [delivered] [brought into Florida] [possessed] GHB or a mixture containing GHB. Definitions. Give as applicable. Sell. “Sell” means to transfer or deliver something to another person in exchange for money or something of value or a promise of money or something of value. Manufacture. § 893.02(15)(a), Fla. Stat. “Manufacture” means the production, preparation, propagation, compounding, cultivating, growing, conversion, or processing of a controlled substance, either directly or indirectly, by extraction from substances of natural origin, or independently by means of chemical synthesis, or by a combination of extraction and chemical synthesis, and includes any packaging of the substance or labeling or relabeling of its container. Give if applicable. The term “manufacture” does not include the preparation, compounding, packaging, or labeling of a controlled substance by: 1. A practitioner or pharmacist as an incident to his or her administering or delivering of a controlled substance in the course of his or her professional practice. 2. A practitioner, or by his or her authorized agent under the practitioner's supervision, for the purpose of, or as an incident to, research, teaching, or chemical analysis, and not for sale. Deliver. § 893.02(6), Fla. Stat. “Deliver” or “delivery” means the actual, constructive, or attempted transfer from one person to another of a controlled substance, whether or not there is an agency relationship. Possession. There are two types of possession: actual possession and constructive possession. Actual possession. Actual possession means the person is aware of the presence of the substance and: a. The substance is in the hand of or on the person, or b. The substance is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or 340 c. The substance is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person. Constructive possession. Constructive possession means the person is aware of the presence of the substance, the substance is in a place over which the person has control, and the person has the ability to control the substance. Give if applicable. Mere proximity to a substance is not sufficient to establish the power and intention to control that substance when the substance is in a place that the person does not control. Give if applicable. In order to establish (defendant's) constructive possession of a substance that was in a place [he] [she] did not control, the State must prove (defendant) (1) knew that the substance was within [his] [her] presence and (2) exercised control or ownership over the substance itself. Joint possession. Possession of a substance may be sole or joint, that is, two or more persons may be aware of the presence of the substance and may jointly exercise control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of the substance. Give if applicable. § 893.02(19), Fla. Stat. “Possession” includes temporary possession for the purpose of verification or testing, irrespective of dominion or control. Inferences. Exclusive control. Henderson v. State, 88 So.3d 1060 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) ; Meme v. State, 72 So.3d 254 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011) . If you find that (defendant): a. had direct physical custody of the substance, [or] b. was within ready reach of the substance and the substance was under [his] [her] control, [or] c. had exclusive control of the place where the substance was located, you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the substance and had the power and intention to control it. If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where a substance was located, you may not infer [he] [she] had knowledge of the presence of the substance or the power and intention to control it, in the absence of other incriminating evidence. Give if applicable. See Duncan v. State, 986 So.2d 653 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008) . However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the substance and had the power and intention to control it if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the substance was located, and the substance was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant. Affirmative defense: Lack of knowledge of illicit nature. Give if there is evidence that the defendant 1) did not know of the presence of the substance or 2) knew of the presence of the substance, but did not know of its illicit nature. § 893.101(2) and (3), Fla. Stat. Lack of knowledge of the illicit nature of a controlled substance is a defense to Trafficking in [GHB] [GBL] 341 [1,4–Butanediol]. (Defendant) has raised this defense. You are permitted to infer that (defendant) was aware of the illicit nature of the controlled substance if you find that [he] [she] knew of the presence of the substance and exercised control or ownership over the substance. Give if applicable. See McMillon v. State, 813 So.2d 56 (Fla.2002) . You are permitted to infer that a person who sells a controlled substance knows of its illicit nature. If you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, and all of the elements of the charge have been proved, you should find [him] [her] guilty of Trafficking in [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]. If you have a reasonable doubt on the question of whether (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, you should find [him] [her] not guilty of Trafficking in [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]. See State v. Weller, 590 So.2d 923 (Fla.1991) . If you find the defendant guilty of Trafficking in [GHB][GBL] [1,4–Butanediol], you must further determine by your verdict whether the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that: Enhanced penalty. See § 893.135(1)(h), (1)(i), and (1)(j), Fla. Stat., to verify the weights or amounts specified in the statute, as determined by the date of the offense. Give if applicable up to extent of charge. a. the [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] [mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]] weighed 1 kilogram or more but less than 5 kilograms. b. the [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] [mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]] weighed 5 kilograms or more but less than 10 kilograms. c. the [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol] [mixture containing [GHB] [GBL] [1,4–Butanediol]] weighed 10 kilograms or more. Lesser Included Offenses Trafficking can be committed by sale, purchase, manufacture, delivery, bringing into this state, or actual or constructive possession of a certain amount of drugs. Each of these alternatives has its own statute for lower quantities of controlled substances. Accordingly, before deciding the appropriate lesser-included offenses, trial judges should review not only the evidence but also the charging document to see what type of trafficking was alleged. For example, if a defendant is charged only with Trafficking via Sale, then Possession of a Controlled Substance should not be given as a lesser-included offense. Comments There is no crime of Attempted Delivery because the definition of “delivery” in § 893.03(6), Fla. Stat., includes the attempt to transfer from one person to another. There is no crime of attempted conspiracy. Hutchinson v. State, 315 So.2d 546 (Fla. 2d DCA 1975).

Stat. To prove the crime of (crime charged), the State must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt: 1. (Defendant) [delivered] [possessed with intent to deliver] [manufactured with intent to deliver] drug paraphernalia. 2. (Defendant) had knowledge of the presence of the drug paraphernalia. 3. (Defendant) knew or reasonably should have known that the drug paraphernalia would be used to plant, propagate, cultivate, grow, harvest, manufacture, compound, convert, produce, process, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store, contain, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce a controlled substance into the human body.Definitions.Possession. Give if possession with intent to deliver is charged.There are two ways to exercise control types of possession: actual possession and constructive possession.Actual possession.Actual possession of drug paraphernalia means the person is aware of the presence of the paraphernalia and: a. The drug paraphernalia is in the hand of or on the person, or b. The drug paraphernalia is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or 352 c. The drug paraphernalia is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person.Constructive possession.Constructive possession of drug paraphernalia means the person is aware of the presence of the drug paraphernalia, the drug paraphernalia is in a place over which the person has control, and the person has the ability to control the drug paraphernalia.Give if applicable.Mere proximity to drug paraphernalia is not sufficient to establish the power and intention to control overthat drug paraphernalia when the drug paraphernalia is in a place that the person does not control.Give if applicable. In order to establish (defendant's) constructive possession of drug paraphernalia that was in a place [he] [she] did not control, the State must prove (defendant) (1) knew that the drug paraphernalia was within [his] [her] presence and (2) exercised control or ownership over the drug paraphernalia itself.Joint possession.Possession of drug paraphernalia may be sole or joint, that is, two or more persons may be aware of the presence of the drug paraphernalia and may jointly exercise control over it.

State, 72 So.3d 254 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2011). If you find that (defendant): a. had direct physical custody of drug paraphernalia, [or] b. was within ready reach of drug paraphernalia and the drug paraphernalia was under [his] [her] control, [or] c. had exclusive control of the place where drug paraphernalia was located, you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the drug paraphernalia and had the ability power and intention to control it. If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where the drug paraphernalia was located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had knowledge of the presence of the drug paraphernalia or the ability power and intention to control it, in the absence of other incriminating evidence. Give if applicable. See Duncan v. State, 986 So.2d 653 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2008). However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the drug paraphernalia and had the ability power and intention to control it if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the drug paraphernalia was located, and the drug paraphernalia was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant.

At the time, (defendant) was [an inmate] [upon the grounds] of a state correctional facility. Give in all cases. § 944.02(8) , Fla. Stat.“State correctional facility” means any prison, road camp, prison industry, prison forestry camp, or any prison camp or prison farm or other correctional facility, temporary or permanent, in which prisoners are housed, worked, or maintained, under the custody and jurisdiction of the Department of Corrections. Give if clothing is alleged. State v. Becton, 665 So.2d 358 (Fla. 5 th th DCA 1995).“Clothing” means things worn to cover the body and limbs. Give if currency is alleged. State v. Becton, 665 So.2d 358 (Fla. 5 th th DCA 1995) .365 “Currency” means money or another commodity which is in circulation as a medium of exchange. Give if weapon is alleged. State v. Fleming, 606 So.2d 1229 (Fla. 1 st st DCA 1992).A “weapon” is an instrument that is designed and constructed for use as a weapon, or, if the instrument is capable of being used as a weapon, the defendant used, threatened to use, or intended to use the instrument as a weapon. Give if firearm is alleged. § 790.001(6) , Fla. Stat.“Firearm” means any weapon (including a starter gun) which will, is designed to, or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive[; the frame or receiver of any such weapon] [any firearm muffler or firearm silencer] [any destructive device] [any machine gun]. Give if portable communication device is alleged. § 944.47(1)(a) 6 , Fla. Stat.The term “portable communication device” means any device carried, worn, or stored which is designed or intended to receive or transmit verbal or written messages, access or store data, or connect electronically to the Internet or any other electronic device and which allows communications in any form. Such devices include, but are not limited to, portable two-way pagers, hand-held radios, cellular telephones, Blackberry-type devices, personal digital assistants or PDA's, laptop computers, or any components of these devices which are intended to be used to assemble such devices. The term also includes any new technology that is developed for similar purposes. [Excluded from this definition is any device having communication capabilities which has been approved or issued by the department for investigative or institutional security purposes or for conducting other state business.]Possession. There are two ways to exercise control types of possession: actual possession and constructive possession.Actual possession.Actual possession means the person is aware of the presence of the object and a. the object is in the hand of or on the person, or b. the object is in a container in the hand of or on the person, or c. the object is so close as to be within ready reach and is under the control of the person.Constructive possession.Constructive possession means the person is aware of the presence of the object, the object is in a place over which the person has control, and the person has the ability to control the object.Give if applicable. Mere proximity to an object is not sufficient to establish the power and intention to control over that object when the object is in a place that the person does not control.Give if applicable. In order to establish (defendant's) constructive possession of an object that was in a place [he] [she] did not control, the State must prove (defendant) (1) knew that the object was within [his] [her] presence and (2) exercised control or ownership over the object itself. Joint possession.366 Possession of an object may be sole or joint, that is, two or more persons may be aware of the presence of an object and may jointly exercise control over it. In that case, each of those persons is considered to be in possession of that object.Inferences. Exclusive control. Henderson v. State, 88 So.3d 1060 (Fla. 1 st st DCA 2012); Meme v. State, 72 So.3d 254 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2011). If you find that (defendant): a. had direct physical custody of the object, [or] b. was within ready reach of the object and the object was under [his] [her] control, [or] c. had exclusive control of the place where the object was located, you may infer that [he] [she] was aware of the presence of the substance and had the ability power and intention to control it. If (defendant) did not have exclusive control over the place where an object was located, you may not infer [he] [[she] had knowledge of the presence of the object or the ability power and intention to control it, in the absence of other incriminating evidence. Give if applicable. Duncan v. State, 986 So.2d 653 (Fla. 4 th th DCA 2008). However, you may infer that (defendant) knew of the presence of the object and had the ability power and intention to control it if [he] [she] had joint control over the place where the object was located, and the object was located in a common area in plain view and in the presence of the defendant. Affirmative defense: Lack of knowledge of illicit nature. Give if there is evidence that the defendant 1) did not know of the presence of the substance or 2) knew of the presence of the substance, but did not know of its illicit nature. § 893.101(2) and (3), Fla. Stat. Give if applicable.Lack of knowledge of the illicit nature of a controlled substance is a defense to the crime of Possession of a Controlled Substance. Accordingly, the defendant is not guilty of possessing a controlled substance if [he] [she] did not know of the illicit nature of the substance. You are permitted to presume infer that (defendant) was aware of the illicit nature of the controlled substance if you find that [he] [she] knew of the presence of the substance and exercised control or ownership over the substance. If you are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, and all of the elements of the charge have been proved, you should find [him] [her] guilty. If you have a reasonable doubt on the question of whether (defendant) knew of the illicit nature of the controlled substance, you should find [him] [her] not guilty of possession of a controlled substance. Affirmative defense: Authorization. Give if the defendant has satisfied his or her burden of production. See Wright v. State, 442 So.2d 1058 (Fla. 1st st DCA 1983).It is a defense to the crime of Possession of Contraband [In] [Upon the Grounds of] a State Correctional Facility if the defendant was authorized by the officer in charge of the correctional 367 institution to possess the item [in] [upon the grounds of] a state correctional institution. The defendant has raised this defense.If you have a reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant had authorization from the officer in charge of the correctional institution, you should find [him] [her] not guilty.If the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not have authorization from the officer in charge of the correctional institution, you should find [him] [her] guilty, if all the elements of the charge have also been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.Lesser Included Offenses POSSESSION OF CONTRABAND [IN] [UPON THE GROUNDS OF ] A STATE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION—944.47(1)(c) CATEGORY ONE CATEGORY TWO FLA.
