Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 8.19

§ 784.047, Fla. Stat.

To prove the crime of Violation of an Injunction for Protection Against [Repeat] [Sexual] [Dating] Violence, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. An injunction for protection against [repeat] [sexual] [dating] violence was issued by a court against (defendant) for the benefit of (victim).

2. (Defendant) willfully violated the injunction by (alleged violation* of section 784.047).

“Willfully” means knowingly, intentionally, and purposely.

If the allegation involves the defendant committing an act of repeat, sexual, or dating violence against the victim, give the appropriate definitions of “violence,” “repeat violence,” and/or “dating violence” from § 784.046(1), Fla. Stat., and the elements of any appropriate crime(s) supported by the evidence.

Give if applicable if the jury finds the defendant guilty of Violation of a [Repeat][Sexual][Dating] Violence Injunction. § 784.047(2), Fla. Stat.

Now that you have found the defendant guilty of Violation of a [Repeat] [Sexual] [Dating] Violence Injunction, you must further determine whether the State has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was previously convicted two times or more of Violation of an Injunction against the same person.

“Conviction” means a determination of guilt that is the result of a plea or a trial, regardless of whether adjudication is withheld or a plea of nolo contendere is entered.
