...f conduct, notwithstanding a plea of nolo contendere to both charges. In Goddard v. State, 458 So.2d 230 (Fla. 1984), we briefly stated that section 812.025 supplemented the theft statute (section 812.014) and the dealing in stolen property statute (section 812.019) "by providing that a defendant may be charged with both theft and dealing in stolen property, but cannot be found guilty of both crimes."

It also determined that he was an organizer of the theft and convicted him of dealing in stolen property, as proscribed in section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes (1989).

...State, 458 So.2d 230, 233 (Fla. 1984) (citation and emphasis omitted). It is clear that the state's evidence proved direct contact with the property. When a person has direct contact with the property, the applicable offense for dealing in stolen property is section 812.019(1), Florida Statutes (1989). That statute provides: Any person who traffics in, or endeavors to traffic in property that he knows or should know was stolen shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree.... § 812.019(1), Fla.

Although Mr. Burrell did not argue the distinction between subsections 1 and 2 of section 812.019 in his motion for judgment of acquittal, "it would be fundamental error not to correct on appeal a situation where [a defendant] stands convicted of a crime that never occurred."

Goddard v. State, 458 So. 2d 230 (Fla. 1984).

Cited 8 times | Published | Supreme Court of Florida

...OVERTON, Justice. This is a petition to review Goddard v. State, 438 So.2d 110 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983), in which the district court certified the following question to be of great public importance: [1] DID THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE INTEND TO PUNISH UNDER SECTION 812.019(2), FLORIDA STATUTES, THE COMMON THIEF WHO TRAFFICS IN THE GOODS WHICH HE HAS INDIVIDUALLY STOLEN, OR WAS THAT PROVISION INTENDED TO ONLY PUNISH ONE WHO ACTS AS A "RINGLEADER" IN THE ORGANIZING OF THEFTS AND TRAFFICS IN THE STOLEN GOODS[?] Id. at 112. The district court upheld Goddard's conviction under the statute. We disagree, answer the question in the negative, and hold that section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes (1983), applies only to the organizer, or "ringleader," of a theft and not to the single thief who simply traffics in the goods he has stolen....
...Goddard testified that he had purchased the stainless steel at his home from a black man, but that he did not know the man's last name or how to contact him. Goddard claimed he did not realize the metal was stolen. *232 Instead of being charged with theft under section 812.014 and trafficking in stolen property under section 812.019(1), Goddard was charged with a violation of section 812.019(2), which provides that "[a]ny person who initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises the theft of property and traffics in such stolen property shall be guilty of a felony of the first degree... ." At the charge conference the prosecutor advised the trial judge that there were no lesser included offenses to the charge under section 812.019(2). Defense counsel raised no objection. In its final argument, the state asserted that because Goddard stole and then sold the stainless steel parts, he had violated section 812.019(2)....
...charged, and instructed the jury as to "theft." The jury returned a verdict of guilty as charged and Goddard was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment. Goddard's motion for a new trial was denied. On appeal, the district court of appeal held that section 812.019(2) was unambiguous and prohibited "the doing of either or any act so joined," and that "one who actually commits a theft also, at least, initiates and plans it, each act of which is proscribed by Section 812.019(2)." 438 So.2d at 110....
...In so holding, the district court noted that the evidence was insufficient "to permit an interpretation that the thefts were committed by more than one person or that the thefts were committed by one acting under [Goddard's] direction." Id. at 110 n. 1. Section 812.019(2) is one of eleven sections comprising the Florida Anti-Fencing Act as adopted by the legislature in chapter 77-342, Laws of Florida. The Act mandates that its provisions are not to be construed strictly, but rather "in light of their purposes to achieve their remedial goals." Fla. Stat. § 812.037 (1983). Thus, to determine whether section 812.019(2) applies to the common thief who traffics in the goods that he has stolen or whether it applies solely to those individuals who orchestrate thefts and control fencing operations, the legislative history of that section and the Act as a whole must be examined. The sections of the Act pertinent to this discussion are section 812.014, entitled "Theft;" section 812.019, "Dealing in stolen property;" and section 812.025, "Charging theft and dealing in stolen property." The applicable provisions of 812.014, "Theft," are as follows: (1) A person is guilty of theft if he knowingly obtains or uses, or en...

Section 812.019, entitled "Dealing in stolen property," provides as follows: (1) Any person who traffics in, or endeavors to traffic in, property that he knows or should know was stolen shall be guilty of a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in ss....

...[2] According to the NAAG, one of the model act's primary purposes is to facilitate the prosecution and conviction of "white collar" fences who often escape punishment because they never come into contact with stolen goods. [3] Commentary on the model act's counterpart to section 812.019(2) states: The model, recognizing the sophisticated nature of organized crime, extends not only to a person who "traffics in" stolen property, but to one who "initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages or supervises" the theft or trafficking....
...The penalties are graded according to the offender's role, but not *234 according to the value of the property involved. National Association of Attorneys General, Legislative Responses to Dealing in Stolen Goods (1975) (emphasis added). [4] It thus appears that the "remedial goal" of section 812.019(2) is to discourage organized theft by imposing a harsher penalty on the individual who actually organizes thefts and traffics in stolen goods than on the common thief who simply steals and then sells those goods....
...gislative history, such a result could not have been the reasonable intent of the legislature. We conclude that an individual who steals and traffics in only his own stolen goods is subject to theft and trafficking charges under sections 812.014 and 812.019(1), but may not be charged with "organizing" under section 812.019(2). In the instant case, Goddard went to trial charged only with a section 812.019(2) violation. Apparently, the prosecutor, defense counsel, and trial judge were not aware that a section 812.019(2) charge necessarily includes the offense of trafficking in stolen property under section 812.019(1)....
...An offense is deemed "necessarily included" in the offense charged when the greater offense cannot be committed without necessarily committing the lesser offense. Although under the facts of this case Goddard could not be properly convicted for violation of section 812.019(2), the record reveals that the elements have been fully established for a conviction under the necessarily included offense of trafficking in stolen goods, proscribed by section 812.019(1)....
...We also find no error on the part of the trial court in the reinstruction of the jury on the offense charged together with the "theft" definition. We quash the decision of the district court of appeal and remand with directions to remand to the trial court for resentencing under section 812.019(1) in accordance with the views expressed in this opinion....

...Although the trial judge did not elaborate on his reasons for invalidating the law or specify the particular features of the provision which he found to be fatally defective, it is apparent from the motion to dismiss that his conclusion was predicated on a finding that section 812.019(1) is overly broad in that it permits the criminal prosecution of conduct that is essentially innocent. We reverse.

In accordance with the foregoing analysis, we conclude that section 812.019(1) is not unconstitutionally overbroad, but is sufficiently confined in its applicability so as not to reach conduct that is essentially innocent....

...was not stolen, although he thought it was stolen when he purchased it. The trial judge held that proof of the stolen character of the goods was not an essential element of the crime of "endeavoring" to traffic in stolen property, that "endeavor" in Section 812.019 means "attempt", [1] and that, notwithstanding Padgett's mistake of fact which made the substantive crime of "trafficking in stolen property" impossible to commit, the state's proof of Padgett's intent to purchase stolen property was proof of the crime of "endeavoring" to traffic in stolen property. We agree with the trial judge that proof of the stolen character of the goods was not essential to proof of the offense of endeavoring to traffic in stolen property. Section 812.019 was enacted in Chapter 77-342, Laws of Florida, as part of a broad revision of laws relating to theft and stolen property.

...Tiedemann, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee. SMITH, Judge. Appellant was convicted of five counts of grand theft, one count of conspiracy to commit grand theft, and two counts of dealing in stolen property, Sections 777.04(3), 812.014 and 812.019(1), Florida Statutes (1983)....
...ase No. 84-17), the conspiracy count. Appellant argues that, as framed by the pleadings filed in this case, the conspiracy count constituted a necessarily-lesser included offense to Count VII, the dealing in stolen property count charged pursuant to Section 812.019(2), which seeks to punish a person who "initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises" the theft of property or trafficking in stolen property....
...The two statutes from which appellant argues are phrased as follows: 777.04 Attempts, solicitation, conspiracy, generally. — * * * * * * (3) Whoever agrees, conspires, combines, or confederates with another person or persons to commit any offense commits the offense of criminal conspiracy... . 812.019 Dealing in stolen property....
...conspiracy. Conviction of both offenses is therefore prohibited under the constitutional restrictions against double jeopardy. Bell v. State, supra , It is clear from the opinion in Goddard v. State, supra , that the "dealing" offense proscribed by Section 812.019(2) cannot be committed by a person acting alone, hence, the necessity for proof that the accused acted in concert with another. Since the state does not contest appellant's contention that conspiracy is a lesser included offense of the "dealing" charge under Section 812.019(2), it was error to refuse to dismiss the conspiracy charge or to inform the jury that it should be considered only as a lesser included offense. That the jury found appellant guilty only of the lesser included offense of trafficking in stolen property, Section 812.019(1), under Count VII — which does not require commission of conspiracy — is immaterial to appellant's claim of error on this point, since the state is not entitled to a conviction of two lesser included offenses under a single charge....

...Rogers, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wesley Heidt, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. ORFINGER, J. Eric Gonzalez appeals his conviction of dealing in stolen property in violation of section 812.019(1), Florida Statutes (2001). Mr. Gonzalez claims that the trial court erred by denying his motion to declare sections 812.019(1) and 812.012(8), Florida Statutes, unconstitutional, and by awarding $4,000 in restitution when the evidence did not support this amount. We affirm in part and reverse in part. Prior to trial, Mr. Gonzalez filed a motion to declare sections 812.019(1) and 812.012(8), Florida Statutes (2001), unconstitutional, or, alternatively, to refashion section 812.019(1) in degrees in accordance with section 812.014, Florida Statutes *893 (2001)....
...Gonzalez again objected to this amount, arguing that Ms. Lopez did not provide sufficient testimony to support the value of the items. Once more, the trial court overruled the objection and ordered $4,000 in restitution. This appeal follows.

Mr. Gonzalez claims that section 812.019(1) is unconstitutionally overbroad because it criminalizes all trafficking in stolen property in the same manner, regardless of the amount of property involved....
...Trafficking in any amount of stolen goods is not innocent conduct; the fact that trafficking in a small amount of stolen goods is, according to Mr. Gonzalez, "relatively harmless," is of no consequence. See State v. Tomas, 370 So.2d 1142, 1143 (Fla.1979) (concluding *894 that "section 812.019(1) is not unconstitutionally overbroad, but is sufficiently confined in its applicability so as not to reach conduct that is essentially innocent")....
...Although the trial court is granted discretion in determining a restitution amount to make the victim whole, here, there was no competent, substantial evidence to support the trial court's award of restitution above $3,125. We affirm the trial court's denial of Mr. Gonzalez's motion to declare sections 812.019(1) and 812.012(8), Florida Statutes, unconstitutional, but reverse its grant of $4,000 in restitution.

...The trial court thereupon vacated the adjudication of guilt as to the Count I charge of grand theft, and sentenced appellant to a term of seven years imprisonment on the Count II charge of trafficking. The information filed in this case charged appellant in Count II with a violation of Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, which provides: Any person who initiates, organizes plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises the theft of property and traffics in such stolen property shall be guilty of a felony of the first, degree, punishable as provided in ss. 775.082, 775.083, and 775.084. Appellant maintains, and the State agrees, that the evidence in this case will not support a conviction under Section 812.019(2), since "an individual who steals and traffics in only his own stolen goods is subject to theft and trafficking charges under Section 812.014 and 812.019(1), but may not be charged with `organizing' under Section 812.019(2)."

Goddard v. State, 438 So. 2d 110 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983).

Published | District Court of Appeal of Florida | 1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 21641

PER CURIAM. Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, imposes criminal sanctions upon “any person who initiates, organizes, plans, finances, directs, manages, or supervises the theft of property and traffics in such stolen property.” Appellant was found guilty by jury of violating that statutory prohibition. The only issue raised on appeal which merits discussion is appellant’s contention that Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, was not intended to apply to him, a common thief who individually stole the goods in question 1 and then trafficked in same....
...It is a well-settled rule that where the language of a statute is plain, unambiguous, and conveys a clear and definite meaning, resort to rules of statutory interpretation to ascertain legislative intent is unnecessary. The Legislature is held to have intended that which it plainly expressed. We find the language of Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, plain and unambiguous. The word “or,” a disjunctive article, as used in the context of Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, prohibits the doing of either or any act so joined. Clearly, one who actually commits a theft also, at least, initiates and plans it, each act of which is proscribed by Section 812.019(2). Accordingly, we conclude the Section 812.019(2), Florida Statutes, is intended to apply to the common thief who also traffics in the goods which he has stolen and, therefore, affirm the judgment of conviction. However, because we recognize that the issue presented by appellant is one *112 of great public importance, we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the following question: DID THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE INTEND TO PUNISH UNDER SECTION 812.019(2), FLORIDA STATUTES, THE COMMON THIEF WHO TRAFFICS IN THE GOODS WHICH HE HAS INDIVIDUALLY STOLEN, OR WAS THAT PROVISION INTENDED TO ONLY PUNISH ONE WHO ACTS AS A “RINGLEADER” IN THE ORGANIZING OF THEFTS AND TRAFFICS IN THE STOLEN GOODS....

...eals the district court’s revocation of his supervised release. The district court’s decision was partly based on its finding that Mentó violated the conditions of his release by: (1) dealing in stolen property, in violation of Florida Statutes § 812.019, and (2) fraudulently verifying ownership to a secondhand dealer, in violation of Florida Statutes § 538.04....
...§ 3583 (e)(3). One of the conditions of Mento’s supervised release was that he refrain from breaking state law. Here, the district court did not err in finding that Mentó violated a condition of his supervised release by infringing Florida Statutes §§ 812.019 and 538.04. Florida Statutes § 812.019 makes it a felony to sell property that one knows or should know has been the subject of any criminally wrongful taking. See Fla. Stat. § 812.019 (1) (“Any person who traffics in ......
...ó. In light of such evidence, the findings were not clearly erroneous, and we must defer to them. See Almand, 992 F.2d at 318 . The district court’s factual findings provide ample support for its conclusion that Mentó violated Florida Statutes §§ 812.019 and 538.04. First, by selling a ring that he knew he did not have legal authority to sell, Mentó knowingly sold property that was subject to a criminally wrongful taking. 3 See Fla. Stat. §§ 812.019 , 812.012(7), 812.012(8)....
...Second, Mentó “knowingly provided false verification of ownership” of the ring during the sale to the secondhand dealer when he certified to the dealer that he owned the ring. See Fla. Stat. § 538.04 . Accordingly, the district court did not err in determining that Mentó violated Florida Statutes §§ 812.019 and 538.04, and we cannot con-elude that the court abused its discretion in revoking his supervised release....

WIGGINTON, Judge. Appellant was convicted of dealing in stolen property contrary to section 812.019, Florida Statutes (1981)....
...Rather, he moved for judgment of acquittal on the sole basis that his pawning the property did not amount to trafficking in stolen property as “trafficking” is defined in section 812.012(7)(a) and (b). The trial court disagreed and instructed the jury in language tracking that of sections 812.019(1) and 812.012(7)(a) and (b). Section 812.012(7)(a) defines the term “traffic,” as used in section 812.019(1), broadly by utilizing the language “or otherwise dispose of such property.” Appellant would argue, however, that the pawning of stolen property does not amount to the “otherwise” disposing of that property, because a person...

...That is, the substantive offenses defined in the theft statute are defined so that one who attempts to commit [them] is deemed to have committed the completed crime. The substantive, completed crime is fully proved when an attempt, along with the requisite intent, is established. This identical language was used in section 812.019(1). It appears, therefore, that there is but one crime established by the statute and that crime is “dealing in stolen property.” In State v. Tomas, 370 So.2d 1142, 1143 (Fla.1979), the supreme court upheld the constitutionality of section 812.019(1), stating: The terms “traffic” and “stolen property” are defined in section 812.012(6) and (7), from which it is clear that the statute applies only to certain acts relating to the disposition of “property that has been the subject of any criminally wrongful taking.” (Emphasis added).
