RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE--AMENDMENT--PRETRIAL DETENTION. The Court made extensive amendments to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.132 (Pretrial Detention). Some of the more significant amendments include a requirement that a person arrested for a dangerous crime as defined by section 907.041 not be released from jail before first appearance, enumeration of custody and release conditions, and a description of the contents and timing of pretrial detention motions and orders. Additionally, the amendments describe a defendant's rights at the hearing on a motion for pretrial detention, "the evidence required at the hearing, how communication technology may be used, and the burden of proof to be borne by the State." Given the amendments to rule 3.132, the Court also amended "rule 3.116(b) (Use of Communication Technology; Generally) to add 3.132(j) to the list of rules governing their own use of audio-video communication technology."
