RULE 3.214 | INCOMPETENCY TO PROCEED TO SENTENCING: DISPOSITION

If a defendant is determined to be incompetent to proceed after being found guilty of an offense or violation of probation or community control or after voluntarily entering a plea to an offense or violation of probation or community control, but prior to sentencing, the court shall postpone the pronouncement of sentence and proceed pursuant to rule 3.210 (et seq.) and the following rules.

Committee Notes

1988 Amendment. Title. This new rule replaces the former rule 3.740. It was felt to be more appropriately addressed in this sequence. The former rule 3.214 is now renumbered 3.215. The former rule 3.740 used the inappropriate phrase “(p)rocedures when insanity is alleged as cause for not pronouncing sentence.” Insanity is an affirmative defense to a criminal charge. The more correct term is “incompetence to proceed to sentencing.”

(a) This new provision reiterates amendments to rule 3.210 and provides that sentencing shall be postponed for a defendant incompetent to proceed with disposition of a criminal matter — to include a finding of guilt at trial, after entry of a voluntary plea, or after a violation of probation or community control proceeding.

Introductory Note Relating to Amendments to Rules 3.210 to 3.219. See notes following rule 3.210 for the text of this note.

Congratulations! You're now booked up on Rule 3.214 Fla. R. Crim. P. (Florida's Rules of Criminal Procedure)!

You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you might need to invoke certain rules to protect yourself from judges/lawyers who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

As always, please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
