In re: Amendments to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure
Case Number(s):
SC12-187

Transcript:

Summary:

The Florida Bar's Rules of Criminal Procedure Committee has proposed changes to the rules governing criminal procedures. Examples include clarifying the time frame for filing a notice of expiration of speedy trial deadline and clarifying the right of a pro se defendant or an attorney to apply for subpoenas. Another proposed rule change would allow a judge to write an answer to a jury's questions rather than bringing the jury back into the courtroom to respond orally.
