M.D. Fla. · 2025 · confidence medium
In deciding a motion for new trial pursuant to Rule 3.600(b), the trial court acts as a “safety valve” by “granting a new trial where the evidence is technically sufficient to prove the criminal charge but the weight of the evidence does not appear to support the jury verdict.” Velloso v. State, 117 So. 3d 903, 904 (Fla 4th DCA 2013).

Fla. Dist. Ct. App. · 2019 · confidence medium
His argument is based on the court’s statement that the matter was given to the jury and that the court “never expressed an opinion.” Radice is correct that a court must evaluate the evidence because Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.600(a)(2) “provides that a trial court shall grant a new trial if the verdict is contrary to . . . the weight of the evidence.” Velloso v. State, 117 So. 3d 903, 905 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013) (internal quotation marks omitted).

We recognize first that “[a] trial court is not compelled to use ‘magic words’ when ruling on a motion for new trial.” Velloso v. State, 117 So. 3d 903, 905 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013).

We agree.” The Fourth District in Velloso v. State, 117 So. 3d 903, 906 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013), cited this legal principle with approval, stating, “Even if it were simply unclear as to whether the trial court applied the correct standard, reversal . . . would be required.” (Emphasis added). ∗ In Geibel v. State, 817 So. 2d 1042 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), the Second District appears to say that even if there is no indication that the sufficiency of the evidence standard was applied, reversal was required.

But where a trial court’s ruling is based on the application of an incorrect legal standard, the ruling is subject to de novo review.” Velloso v. State, 117 So. 3d 903, 905 (Fla. 4th DCA 2013) (quoting Ferebee v. State, 967 So. 2d 1071, 1073 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007)).
