RECENT RELEASES - FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE--AMENDMENT. The Court adopted an amendment to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.691 proposed by the Florida Bar rules committee. "In subdivision (a) (When Authorized) of rule 3.691, the phrase adjudicated guilty of' is replaced by the phrase sentenced for.' This amendment clarifies that post-trial release is available to defendants who otherwise qualify for release where the adjudication was withheld."
RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE--AMENDMENT. Rule 9.141(c)(4), specifying the contents of petitions seeking belated appeal or belated discretionary review, was amended to require a criminal defendant to allege a basis for the Court's jurisdiction when petitioning for discretionary review. The language of subsection (c)(4)(F)(ii) was amended in a manner which will allow for a case-by-case assessment of whether, and to what extent, counsel's alleged neglect or mistake "interfered with the petitioner's ability to file a timely . . . notice to invoke."
