The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases (Committee) proposes amending standard jury instructions 11.10(c) — Lewd or Lascivious Molestation; 13.1 — Burglary; and 14.1 — Theft.
Following publication of its proposals in the January 15, 2012, edition of The Florida Bar News, the Committee filed its report with the Court on February 23, 2012. The Committee had not received any comments pertaining to the published proposals. As discussed below, we amend the standard jury instructions as proposed by the Committee except as noted otherwise, and authorize the amended jury instructions for publication and use.
The Committee’s proposal pertaining to instruction 11.10(c) — Lewd or Lascivious Molestation, is straightforward and the instruction is amended as proposed. Accordingly, the phrase “in a lewd or lascivious manner” is added to both paragraphs of the instruction’s element number two.
Jury instruction 13.1 — Burglary, is amended in several respects, as follows.
First, the term “indictment” is added to reflect that the instruction applies if the offense of burglary is charged by indictment rather than information.
Second, the Court amends instruction 13.1to include language instructing upon the second-degree felony of burglary of a structure or conveyance when the offense intended to be committed therein was theft of a controlled substance. See § 810.02(3X0, Fla. Stat. (2012). This change is consistent with the Florida Legislature’s change to the burglary statute. See Ch.2011-141, § 21, Laws of Fla. (amending section 810.02(3)(f), Florida Statutes (2012)).
Third, we amend instruction 13.1 to specify the crime alleged throughout the instruction, other than burglary or trespass, that the defendant intended to commit.
Fourth, and related to the above amendment, the Court adds the phrase “other than burglary or trespass” to make clear to jurors that the crime intended cannot be burglary or trespass.
Fifth, the phrase “or should have known” is reinserted into the paragraph concerning entering an area of the premises open to the public. That phrase was inadvertently excluded upon the Committee’s proposed amendment to instruction 13.1in 2007, and that omission was perpetuated the following year when instruction 13.1was again amended. See In re Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases—Report No. 2006-2, 962 So.2d 310,
Sixth, the Court amends the definition of “authorized emergency vehicle” in instruction 13.1 to conform to the definition of that phrase in section 316.003, Florida Statutes (2012), the definition under the State Uniform Traffic Control provisions, and as used in the theft instruction.
Last, we decline to amend the burglary instruction to include language explaining that the enclosure around a structure or dwelling need not be “continuous” in order for there to be curtilage. Rather, we adhere to the statutory language as enacted by the Legislature and as previously interpreted by this Court. See § 810.011, Fla. Stat. (2012); State v. Hamilton, 660 So.2d 1038, 1040-1045 (Fla.1995) (construing “curtilage”).
Instruction 14.1 — Theft is amended in light of the Florida Legislature’s enactment of a law creating a third-degree felony for the theft of any amount of a controlled substance. See Ch.2011-141, § 22, Laws of Fla. (creating section 812.014(2)(c)13, Florida Statutes (2012)). As proposed, the Court adds the phrase “controlled substance” as one of the types of stolen property listed, and provides for identifying the controlled substance by name and as a “controlled substance” within the instruction. These changes are consistent with the legislative changes to section 812.014(2)(c)13.
Accordingly, we hereby authorize for publication and use the instructions as they appear in the attached appendix.
It is so ordered.

Neither (victim’s) lack of chastity nor consent is a defense to the crime charged.
The defendant’s ignorance of victim’s age, victim’s misrepresentation of [his][her] age, or the defendant’s bona fide belief of (victim’s) age is not a defense to the crime charged.

13.1 BURGLARY
§ 810.02, Fla. Stat.
Give if the information or indictment charges entering with the intent to commit an offense:
To prove the crime of Burglary, the State must prove the following [two] [three] elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. (Defendant) entered a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession of (person alleged).
2. At the time of entering the [structure] [conveyance], (defendant) had
The offense intended cannot be trespass or burglary.
Give element 3 only if defendant meets his or her burden of production that he or she had an invitation or license to enter, or that the premises were open to the public. See State v. Hicks, )21 So.2d 510 (Fla.1982), and State v. Waters, ⅛36 So.2d 66 (Fla.1983).
3. [ (Defendant) was not [licensed] [invited] to enter the [structure] [conveyance].] [The premises were not open to the public at the time of the entering.]
Give if applicable.
If the [license] [invitation] to enter was obtained by (defendant’s) trick or fraud or deceit, then the [license] [invitation] to enter was not valid.
Give if applicable.
If (defendant) entered premises that were open to the public, but then entered an area of the premises that [he][she] knew or should have known was not open to the public, (defendant) committed a burglary if [he][she] entered that non-public area with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] [(the crime alleged)-} in that non-public area.
Give if applicable. § 810.07 Fla. Stat.
You may infer that (defendant) had the intent to commit a crime inside a [structure] [conveyance] if the [entering] [attempted entering] of the [structure] [conveyance] was done stealthily and without the consent of the owner or occupant.
Give if applicable.
The entry necessary need not be the whole body of the defendant. It is sufficient if the defendant, with the intent to commit a crime, extends any part of [his][her] body into the [structure] [conveyance].
Give if the information or indictment charges remaining with the intent to commit an offense:
To prove the crime of Burglary, the State must prove the following two elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
1. (Defendant) had permission or consent to enter a [structure] [conveyance] owned by or in the possession
of (person alleged).
2. (Defendant), after entering the [structure] [conveyance], remained therein
Give 2a, 2b, or 2c as applicable.
a. surreptitiously and with the intent to commit [(the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] [-(the — cr-ime—alleged) ] inside the [structure][conveyance].
b. after permission to remain had been withdrawn and with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] [ (the crime alleged)-] inside the [structure] [conveyance].
c. with the intent to commit or attempt to commit a [forcible felony] [ (the forcible felony alleged) ] inside the [structure] [conveyance].
Proof of intent.
The intent with which an act is done is an operation of the mind and, therefore, is not always capable of direct and positive proof. It may be established by circumstantial evidence like any other fact in a case.
Even though an unlawful [entering] [remaining in] a [structure] [conveyance] is proved, if the evidence does not establish that it was done with the intent to commit [ (the crime alleged) ] [an offense other than burglary or trespass] [ (the crime alleged) ], the defendant must be found not guilty of burglary.
Proof of possession of stolen property.
Proof of possession by an accused of property recently stolen by means of a burglary, unless satisfactorily explained, may justify a conviction of burglary if the circumstances of the burglary and of the possession of the stolen property convince you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the burglary.
Definitions; give as applicable.
§ 810.011(1), Fla. Stat.
“Structure” means any building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, that has a roof over it, and the enclosed space of ground and outbuildings immediately surrounding that structure.

“Conveyance” means any motor vehicle, ship, vessel, railroad car, trailer, aircraft or sleeping car; and to enter a conveyance includes taking apart any portion of the conveyance.
Burglary enhancements:
With an assault.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) assaulted any person. An assault is an intentional and unlawful threat, either by word or act, to do violence to another, at a time when the defendant appeared to have the ability to carry out the threat and [his][her] act created a well-founded fear in the other person that the violence was about to take place.
With a battery.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) battered any person. A battery is an actual and intentional touching or striking of another person against that person’s will or the intentional causing of bodily harm to another person.
While armed.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) was armed or armed [himself] [herself] within the [structure] [conveyance] with [explosives] [a dangerous weapon].

A “dangerous weapon” is any weapon that, taking into account the manner in which it is used, is likely to produce death or great bodily harm. It is not necessary for the State to prove that the defendant intended to use or was willing to use the weapon in furtherance of the burglary in order for a weapon to constitute a “dangerous weapon.”
To “arm” oneself during the course of a burglary includes possessing a firearm, whether loaded with ammunition or not, at any time during the course of committing the burglary.
Structure or conveyance is a dwelling.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether the [structure] [conveyance] [entered] [remained in] was a dwelling.

For purposes of burglary, a “dwelling” includes an attached porch or attached garage.
Human being in structure or conveyance.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, there was another human being in the [structure] [conveyance], at the time [he][she] [entered] [remained in] the [structure] [conveyance].
Offense intended is theft of a controlled substance.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine whether the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the offense intended to be committed therein was theft of a controlled substance. Pursuant to Florida law, (name of controlled substance) is a controlled substance. A theft occurs when a person knowingly and unlawfully obtains or uses or endeavors to obtain or use the property of the victim and does so with the intent to, either temporarily or permanently, deprive the victim of his or her right to the property or any benefit from it or to appropriate the property of the victim to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to it.
Dwelling or structure with use of motor vehicle or damage.
If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether, in the course of committing the burglary, (defendant) entered a [dwelling] [structure] and
1. used a motor vehicle as an instrumentality, other than merely as a getaway vehicle, to assist in committing the offense, and thereby damaged the [dwelling] [structure].
or
2. caused damage to the [dwelling] [structure] [property within the [dwelling] [structure]], in excess of $1,000.

If you find (defendant) guilty of burglary, you must also determine if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt whether
1. the burglaiy was committed within a county that was subject to a state of emergency that had been declared by the governor under chapter 252, the “State Emergency Management Act,”
and
2. the perpetration of the burglary was facilitated by conditions arising from the emergency.
Definition.

It is error to inform the jury of a prior theft conviction. Therefore, if the information or indictment contains an allegation of one or more prior theft convictions, do not read that allegation and do not send the information or indictment into the jury room. If the defendant is found guilty of a theft, the historical fact of a previous theft conviction shall be determined beyond a reasonable doubt in a bifurcated proceeding. State v.
