1 (4) PRETRIAL DETENTION.--
2 (b) The court may order pretrial detention if it finds
3 a substantial probability, based on a defendant's past and
4 present patterns of behavior, the criteria in s. 903.046, and
5 any other relevant facts, that:
6 1. The defendant has previously violated conditions of

9 subsequent proceedings;
10 2. The defendant, with the intent to obstruct the
11 judicial process, has threatened, intimidated, or injured any
12 victim, potential witness, juror, or judicial officer, or has

22 4. The defendant poses the threat of harm to the
23 community. The court may so conclude if it finds that the
24 defendant is presently charged with a dangerous crime, that
25 there is a substantial probability that the defendant
26 committed such crime, that the factual circumstances of the
27 crime indicate a disregard for the safety of the community,
28 and that there are no conditions of release reasonably
29 sufficient to protect the community from the risk of physical
30 harm to persons. In addition, the court must find that at

14 other sanction or for which the offender's date of release
15 from confinement, supervision, or other sanction, whichever is
16 later, is within 3 years before the date the primary offense
17 or any additional offense was committed.
18
19 Prior capital felony points: If the offender has one or more
20 prior capital felonies in the offender's criminal record,

23 receives for the primary offense and any additional offense.
24 A prior capital felony in the offender's criminal record is a
25 previous capital felony offense for which the offender has
26 entered a plea of nolo contendere or guilty or has been found

23 Law enforcement protection: If the primary offense is a
24 violation of the Law Enforcement Protection Act under s.
25 775.0823(2), the subtotal sentence points are multiplied by

CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions.
Florida Senate - 2000 CS for SB 2414
307-1880-00
1 defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment as
2 authorized by s. 775.082. The proceeding shall be conducted
3 by the trial judge before the trial jury as soon as
4 practicable. If, through impossibility or inability, the
5 trial jury is unable to reconvene for a hearing on the issue
6 of penalty, having determined the guilt of the accused, the
7 trial judge may summon a special juror or jurors as provided
8 in chapter 913 to determine the issue of the imposition of the
9 penalty. If the trial jury has been waived, or if the
10 defendant pleaded guilty, the sentencing proceeding shall be
11 conducted before a jury impaneled for that purpose, unless
12 waived by the defendant. In the proceeding, evidence may be
13 presented as to any matter that the court deems relevant to
14 the nature of the crime and the character of the defendant and
15 shall include matters relating to any of the aggravating or

18 probative value may be received, regardless of its
19 admissibility under the exclusionary rules of evidence,
20 provided the defendant is accorded a fair opportunity to rebut
21 any hearsay statements. However, this subsection shall not be
22 construed to authorize the introduction of any evidence

1 943.0585 Court-ordered expunction of criminal history
2 records.--The courts of this state have jurisdiction over
3 their own procedures, including the maintenance, expunction,
4 and correction of judicial records containing criminal history
5 information to the extent such procedures are not inconsistent
6 with the conditions, responsibilities, and duties established
7 by this section. Any court of competent jurisdiction may
8 order a criminal justice agency to expunge the criminal
9 history record of a minor or an adult who complies with the
10 requirements of this section. The court shall not order a
11 criminal justice agency to expunge a criminal history record
12 until the person seeking to expunge a criminal history record
13 has applied for and received a certificate of eligibility for
14 expunction pursuant to subsection (2). A criminal history
15 record that relates to a violation of chapter 794, s. 800.04,
16 s. 817.034, s. 827.071, chapter 839, s. 893.135, or a
17 violation enumerated in s. 907.041 may not be expunged,
18 without regard to whether adjudication was withheld, if the
19 defendant was found guilty of or pled guilty or nolo
20 contendere to the offense, or if the defendant, as a minor,
21 was found to have committed, or pled guilty or nolo contendere
22 to committing, the offense as a delinquent act. The court may
23 only order expunction of a criminal history record pertaining
24 to one arrest or one incident of alleged criminal activity,
25 except as provided in this section. The court may, at its sole
26 discretion, order the expunction of a criminal history record
27 pertaining to more than one arrest if the additional arrests
28 directly relate to the original arrest. If the court intends
29 to order the expunction of records pertaining to such
30 additional arrests, such intent must be specified in the
31 order. A criminal justice agency may not expunge any record
96

307-1880-00
1 pertaining to such additional arrests if the order to expunge
2 does not articulate the intention of the court to expunge a
3 record pertaining to more than one arrest. This section does
4 not prevent the court from ordering the expunction of only a
5 portion of a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest
6 or one incident of alleged criminal activity. Notwithstanding
7 any law to the contrary, a criminal justice agency may comply
8 with laws, court orders, and official requests of other
9 jurisdictions relating to expunction, correction, or
10 confidential handling of criminal history records or
11 information derived therefrom. This section does not confer
12 any right to the expunction of any criminal history record,
13 and any request for expunction of a criminal history record
14 may be denied at the sole discretion of the court.
15 (1) PETITION TO EXPUNGE A CRIMINAL HISTORY

6 (5) STATUTORY REFERENCES.--Any reference to any other
7 chapter, section, or subdivision of the Florida Statutes in

10 Section 28. For the purpose of incorporating the
11 amendments to section 893.135, Florida Statutes, in a
12 reference thereto, section 943.059, Florida Statutes, is
13 reenacted to read:
14 943.059 Court-ordered sealing of criminal history
15 records.--The courts of this state shall continue to have
16 jurisdiction over their own procedures, including the
17 maintenance, sealing, and correction of judicial records
18 containing criminal history information to the extent such
19 procedures are not inconsistent with the conditions,
20 responsibilities, and duties established by this section. Any
21 court of competent jurisdiction may order a criminal justice
22 agency to seal the criminal history record of a minor or an
23 adult who complies with the requirements of this section. The
24 court shall not order a criminal justice agency to seal a
25 criminal history record until the person seeking to seal a
26 criminal history record has applied for and received a
27 certificate of eligibility for sealing pursuant to subsection
28 (2). A criminal history record that relates to a violation of
29 chapter 794, s. 800.04, s. 817.034, s. 827.071, chapter 839,
30 s. 893.135, or a violation enumerated in s. 907.041 may not be
31 sealed, without regard to whether adjudication was withheld,

1 if the defendant was found guilty of or pled guilty or nolo
2 contendere to the offense, or if the defendant, as a minor,
3 was found to have committed or pled guilty or nolo contendere
4 to committing the offense as a delinquent act. The court may
5 only order sealing of a criminal history record pertaining to
6 one arrest or one incident of alleged criminal activity,
7 except as provided in this section. The court may, at its sole
8 discretion, order the sealing of a criminal history record
9 pertaining to more than one arrest if the additional arrests
10 directly relate to the original arrest. If the court intends
11 to order the sealing of records pertaining to such additional
12 arrests, such intent must be specified in the order. A
13 criminal justice agency may not seal any record pertaining to
14 such additional arrests if the order to seal does not
15 articulate the intention of the court to seal records
16 pertaining to more than one arrest. This section does not
17 prevent the court from ordering the sealing of only a portion
18 of a criminal history record pertaining to one arrest or one
19 incident of alleged criminal activity. Notwithstanding any law
20 to the contrary, a criminal justice agency may comply with
21 laws, court orders, and official requests of other
22 jurisdictions relating to sealing, correction, or confidential
23 handling of criminal history records or information derived
24 therefrom. This section does not confer any right to the
25 sealing of any criminal history record, and any request for
26 sealing a criminal history record may be denied at the sole
27 discretion of the court.
