Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.381
RULE 3.381. FINAL ARGUMENTS
In all criminal trials, excluding the sentencing phase of a
capital case, at the close of all the evidence, the prosecuting
attorney shall be entitled to an initial closing argument and a
rebuttal closing argument before the jury or the court sitting
without a jury. Failure of the prosecuting attorney to make a closing
argument shall not deprive the defense of its right to make a closing
argument or the prosecuting attorney’s right to then make a
rebuttal argument. If the defendant does not present a closing
argument, the prosecuting attorney will not be permitted a rebuttal
argument.
