...Marlene Jaggernauth petitions for review of the Board of Immigration
Appeals’ (“BIA”) November 14, 2003 order affirming the Immigration Judge’s
(“IJ”) order of removal based on a finding that Jaggernauth’s conviction in 2001
for grand theft under Florida Statutes § 812.014(1) constituted an aggravated
felony under § 101(a)(43)(G) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”), 8
U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(G) (2000), subjecting her to deportation under §
237(a)(2)(A)(iii) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii).
Jaggernauth argues that Florida Statutes § 812.014(1) is a divisible statute
encompassing some offenses that constitute deportable aggravated felonies and
some that do not, and that because the record is unclear as to whether she was
convicted under the portion of § 812.014(1) that encompasses deportable felonies,
the BIA erred in finding her removable....
...years old. She was a lawful permanent resident until 2003, when she was ordered
removed in the present proceedings. The removal order at issue concerns
Jaggernauth’s April 1997 nolo contendere plea and conviction for grand theft
under Florida Statutes § 812.014(1)....
...3
(a) Deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit
from the property.
(b) Appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any
person not entitled to the use of the property.
Fla. Stat. § 812.014(1)....
...For this conviction, Jaggernauth was initially sentenced
to probation, though she was later sentenced to six months’ imprisonment after a
probation violation.
On May 29, 2001 Jaggernauth pleaded nolo contendere and was again
convicted of grand theft under Florida Statutes §
812.014(1) as well as the
misdemeanor offense of resisting a merchant under Florida Statutes §
812.015(6).
The 2001 Information charging Jaggernauth with grand theft tracked the general
language of §
812.014(1)....
...Jaggernauth timely appealed the IJ’s decision to the BIA. On November 14,
2003 the BIA dismissed the appeal, affirming the IJ’s conclusion that Jaggernauth
is an aggravated felon and upholding the IJ’s order of removal. The BIA order
stated that § 812.014(1) appeared to be a divisible statute, encompassing some
offenses that constitute deportable aggravated felonies and some that do not, but
concluded that the record of conviction established that the grand theft offense...
...Even if [our reliance on Jaggernauth’s simultaneous conviction for
Resisting a Merchant while engaged in theft] was in error, as the
respondent claims, the case law of Florida shows that a conviction for
grand theft under Fla. Stat. § 812.014(1) necessarily constitutes a theft
offense for the purposes of section 101(a)(43)(G) of the [INA].
According to the case law, the intent to steal or deprive the victim of
the victim’s property is a necessary element of...
...l reasoning).
Because the November 14, 2003 order of removal, having been affirmed by
the January 21, 2004 order, is final, we have limited jurisdiction over the petition
for review in this case.
B. Is a Violation of Florida Statutes § 812.014(1) an Aggravated Felony
for Purposes of the INA?
In order to find that Jaggernauth was convicted of an aggravated felony based
on her 2001 conviction under § 812.014(1), the BIA was required to find that the
INS established by “clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence” that she
committed a “theft offense” as that term is used in the INA – specifically, that she
took property with the criminal intent to deprive another of rights to and benefits of
the property....
...Christopher,
239 F.3d 1191, 1193 (11th
Cir. 2001) (a theft offense is an aggravated felony if the “term of imprisonment is at
least one year” regardless of any suspension of the sentence imposed).
We have never before addressed whether a conviction under Fla. Stat. §
812.014(1) necessarily constitutes a theft offense for purposes of the aggravated
felony definition....
...f an aggravated felony, we first look to the
fact of conviction and the statutory definition of the offense. See In re Batista-
Hernandez, 21 I. & N. Dec. 955, 970 (BIA 1997) (citing Taylor v. United States,
495 U.S. 575 (1990)). Florida Statutes §
812.014 (1) provides that:
(1) A person commits theft if he or she knowingly obtains or uses, or
endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to,
either temporarily or permanently:
(a) Depriv...
...a right to the property or a
benefit from the property.
(b) Appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use
of any person not entitled to the use of the property.3
The plain language of §
812.014(1) does not explicitly state whether the
requirement of an intent to deprive another of the rights and benefits of property,
under subpart (a) of §
812.014(1), and the intent to appropriate property for one’s
own use, under subpart (b) of §
812.014(1), are to be read conjunctively or
disjunctively. Florida courts, however, have consistently interpreted the section in
3
Jaggernauth was convicted of grand theft in the third degree, a third degree felony.
Florida Statutes §
812.014(2)(c)(1) defines grand theft in the third degree as offenses where the
property stolen is valued at $300 or more.
14
the disjunctive, to articulate two distinct levels of intent. For example, in T.L.M. v.
State,
755 So. 2d 749, 751 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000), the court stated that “Section
812.014 requires a finding of specific criminal intent to either (a) ‘deprive’ the other
person of a right to the property or a benefit therefrom or (b) ‘appropriate’ the
property to his own use or to the use of any person not entitled thereto.” Id....
...at 751
(emphasis added). See also Canady v. State,
813 So. 2d 161, 161 (Fla. Dist. Ct.
App. 2002) (“The evidence was insufficient to prove [the defendant’s] criminal
intent to deprive another person of property, or to appropriate the property, as
required under section
812.014”) (emphasis added); Allen v....
...to allow the jury to find the appellant guilty of grand theft because he knowingly
used the property of another with intent to either temporarily or permanently
deprive the owner of a right to his property or to appropriate the property to his own
use in violation of sections
812.014(1) and
812.014(2)(c))” (emphasis added). In
this Circuit, we have similarly read an “or” into §
812.014(1) between subpart (a)
and subpart (b), and have interpreted the section as encompassing two separate
levels of intent. See Messer v. E.F. Hutton & Co.,
833 F.2d 909, 921 (11th Cir.
1987) (“[Section
812.014(1)] provides for liability only if the property is used or
obtained ‘with intent to, either temporarily or permanently, . . . deprive the other
person of a right to the property or the benefit therefrom . . . [or] appropriate the
15
property to his own use or to the use of any person not entitled thereto.’” (quoting
§
812.014(1)).4
Because two distinct intent standards exist in §
812.014(1), we cannot say
that both subparts would necessarily involve an intent to deprive another person of a
right to the property or a benefit from the property....
...property; a taking of possession,” see Black’s Law Dictionary at 98 (7th ed. 1990),

The Information filed against Jaggernauth for her 2001 grand theft charge likewise
acknowledges the disjunctive character of the intent elements of § 812.014(1)....
...Information at 1 (emphasis added).
16
and which would not necessarily entail that the property owner be deprived his or
her rights to the property’s use or benefits.
Given the above evidence that § 812.014(1) involves two different types of
intent, we agree with Jaggernauth that the statute is “divisible” – that is, it contains
some offenses that are aggravated felonies and others that are not.5 See In re
Sweetser, 22 I....
...e the property and
return it to its owner. See Nov. 14, 2003 Order at 2.
17
therefore not properly considered “thefts” for purposes of the aggravated felony
definition of the INA).
Because § 812.014(1) is a divisible statute, the fact of conviction and the
statutory language alone are insufficient to establish – by “clear, unequivocal, and
convincing evidence” – under which subpart Jaggernauth was convicted....
...Dec. 316, 319 (BIA 1996).
The record of conviction introduced in this case – the Information, plea,
judgment and sentence – do not provide clear, unequivocal and convincing
evidence that Jaggernauth’s 2001 grand theft conviction under § 812.014(1) was for
a taking with the intent to deprive another of their rights or benefits of property.
First, the Information explicitly charges Jaggernauth in the disjunctive, and thus
does not support the conclusion that she was charged under subpart (a) rather than
18
subpart (b) of § 812.014(1). See Information at 1. Second, the written plea and
sentencing documents similarly reference the general statutory provision, §
812.014(1), without specific mention that Jaggernauth was convicted of either
subparts (a) or (b).
Third, we disagree with the BIA that Jaggernauth’s simultaneous conviction
for resisting a merchant establishes that her grand theft conviction was an
aggravated felony....
...crime individually does not involve moral turpitude”). In any event, the
Information on the resisting a merchant charge provides no information as to
whether Jaggernauth either intended to deprive another of the rights and benefits of
property under § 812.014(1)(a), or merely intended to appropriate property to her
own use under § 812.014(1)(b)....

The district court of appeal reversed, holding that the bank was entitled only to damages for breach of contract. We interpret this case as an indication that § 812.014 does not apply to ordinary breaches of contract such as those involved in the present case.

...Thus we must apply the rational of Grappin to the case at bar. In Grappin, we held that the unlawful taking of two or more firearms during the same criminal episode is subject to separate prosecution and punishment under the theft statute as to each firearm taken. Grappin was prosecuted under section
812.014(2)(b)(3), Florida Statutes (1981), which reads as follows: (b) It is grand theft of the second degree and a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in §§
775.082,
775.083 and
775.084, if the property stolen is: 3. A firearm. (Emphasis supplied.) We reasoned that Grappin may be charged in a five-count information with five thefts because the article "a" prefaced firearm. We noted that the use of the article "a" in reference to "firearm" in section

463 So.2d at 1137. Section

812.014(2)(c), without any additional clarification, the defendant would not have known which crime he was accused of committing.

...There, as in G.C., the court noted that the state did not offer any evidence that D.N. exercised possession, dominion, or control over the stolen vehicle. The driver was in possession and control of the vehicle at all times. Based on a broad construction of section
812.014, the court reasoned that, "[p]resumably, the lack of possession or control is made up by a finding of the requisite specific criminal intent to use the property without the owner's permission." D.N.,

812.014, and the Standard Jury Instructions on theft and on the prior crime of larceny all rely on the value of the property taken for enhancement of the potential penalty an accused may face upon conviction. [1] Value remains an element of the crime because it is the factor that distinguishes the crimes of petit theft, first degree grand theft and second degree grand theft.

...ether it is permissible to have convictions for multiple theft offenses arising from a single criminal transaction. The pertinent facts reveal that Kelso was charged and convicted of, among other offenses, third-degree grand theft of a firearm under section 812.014(2)(c)(5) of the Florida Statutes and second-degree grand theft under section 812.014(2)(b)(1) of the Florida Statutes. See § 812.014(2)(b)(1), (c)(5), Fla. Stat. (2003). It is undisputed that the offenses were committed during a single criminal transaction. On appeal, Kelso contended that the two theft convictions under section 812.014 of the Florida Statutes were a violation of the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy....
...Getz,
435 So.2d 789 (Fla.1983), held that the convictions did not violate double jeopardy principles. See Kelso,
898 So.2d at 1024-25. Quoting at length from Getz, the Fourth District reasoned that the Legislature intended for the theft of a firearm and the various other items of property specifically enumerated under section
812.014 to be considered "separate and distinct offenses, even where the thefts occur in a single criminal episode." Kelso,
898 So.2d at 1024 (quoting Getz,
435 So.2d at 791). The court concluded that the value of a stolen firearm is irrelevant to the grading of the theft crime under section
812.014, and attributed this to "the special nature of firearms, as distinct from other property *279 which could be stolen." Kelso,
898 So.2d at 1024....

...to treat the theft of different types of property as separate criminal offenses and to establish distinct punishments for the separate offenses." Getz,
435 So.2d at 791. Under the Blockburger test, thefts of different types of property listed under section

812.014, Fla....
...ntenced. In the instant matter, Kelso asserts that the second of these exceptions, for "[o]ffenses which are degrees of the same offense as provided by statute," precludes the two theft convictions because third-degree grand theft of a firearm under section 812.014(2)(c)(5) of the Florida Statutes and second-degree grand theft under section 812.014(2)(b)(1) of the Florida Statutes are degrees of the same offense of theft....
...ult from a single criminal transaction, then resort to the analysis outlined in section
775.021(4) of the Florida Statutes, as urged by defendant Kelso in the instant matter, is inappropriate. We today affirm the reasoning of this Court in Getz that section
812.014 of the Florida Statutes constitutes a "clear *282 statement of legislative intent" that convictions and sentences for multiple theft offenses arising from the same criminal episode are permitted. See Getz,
435 So.2d at 791. Section
812.014 is structured so that thefts of the various enumerated properties constitute separate offenses....
...The Legislature intended these thefts to be separate offenses and to constitute different crimes. The types of property specifically enumerated demonstrate that strong policy concerns motivated the Legislature to single out these theft offenses for separate punishment. See, e.g., § 812.014(2)(c)(5), Fla. Stat. (2003) (theft of a firearm); § 812.014(2)(c)(8), Fla. Stat. (2003) (theft of a fire extinguisher); § 812.014(2)(c)(11), Fla. Stat. (2003) (theft of a stop sign). Specifically with regard to the offense of theft of a firearm under section 812.014(2)(c)(5) of the Florida Statutes, the Legislature clearly had a strong policy concern for singling out the theft of such dangerous instrumentalities that are widely used in the commission of violent crimes....
...As noted in Getz, "if a firearm is stolen, its value is not an element of the offense and it is grand theft even if the firearm is worth less than one hundred dollars." Getz,
435 So.2d at 791. The same is true for all of the properties which are specifically enumerated in section
812.014. The values of those items of property are irrelevant to the grading of the corresponding theft offense. See §
812.014, Fla. Stat. (2003). Therefore, we conclude that in section
812.014, the Legislature has expressed its clear intent that thefts of the various enumerated properties are to be charged and punished as separate offenses, even when the offenses arise out of the same criminal episode....
...Therefore, it is unnecessary to look to the rules of construction set out in section
775.021(4), and the assertions of Kelso stemming from the exceptions found in that statutory section must fail. Although we recognize that the 1988 amendment to section
775.021(4) creates concern because section
812.014 describes the theft of the various enumerated properties in terms of degree, and the exception to the preference for separate convictions and sentences listed in section
775.021(4)(b)(2) is for "offenses which are degrees of the same offense as provided by statute," the assertions of Kelso in the instant matter ultimately fail because section
812.014 offers a clear statement of legislative intent, thereby negating the need to look to the rules of construction found in section
775.021 to determine whether convictions for multiple degrees of theft arising from the same criminal episode are permitted. Accordingly, the convictions and sentences of Kelso in the instant matter for third-degree grand theft of a firearm under section
812.014(2)(c)(5) of the Florida Statutes and second-degree grand theft under section
812.014(2)(b)(1) of the Florida Statutes do not violate double jeopardy principles....
...We note that this would not be the case if the convictions were for theft of a firearm and theft of the monetary value of that firearm. However, the convictions for theft of a firearm and theft of separate property arising from the same criminal episode are proper under current Florida law. In construing section 812.014 of the Florida Statutes, we have attempted to ascertain the intent of the Legislature and give independent meaning and effect to the words and structure selected for this legislation....
...fident our Legislature will review the pertinent legislation and take any action it deems appropriate. CONCLUSION We hold that the opinion of this Court in Getz remains the controlling law following *283 the 1988 amendment to section
775.021 because section
812.014 constitutes a clear expression of legislative intent that thefts of the various enumerated properties under the statute be punished separately, even when the offenses arise from the same criminal episode....
...r this case. In Getz, the Court held that theft of a firearm and theft of other property valued at a certain dollar threshold are separate and distinct offenses, even where the thefts occur in a single criminal episode. It is clear from a reading of section 812.014 that the legislature intended to treat the theft of different types of property as separate criminal offenses and to establish distinct punishments for the separate offenses....
....021(4)(b)(2), we would have no occasion to resort to the rule of lenity in section
775.021(1) and no basis to conclude that multiple convictions constitute double jeopardy. WELLS, J., concurs. NOTES [1] The Getz opinion analyzed the 1979 version of section
812.014 of the Florida Statutes. Under that version of the statute, theft of a firearm was listed under subsection (2)(b)(3) and was characterized as "grand theft of the second degree," and subsection (2)(c) addressed petit theft. See §
812.014, Fla. Stat. (1979). Under the 2003 version of section
812.014, which was applied to Kelso in the instant matter, theft of a firearm is listed under subsection (2)(c)(5) and is characterized as "grand theft of the third degree," and petit theft is addressed by subsection (3)(a). See §
812.014, Fla. Stat. (2003). Despite the renumbering and the reclassification of certain offenses in terms of degree, as illustrated above, section

...We answer the question in the negative, approve, in part, the district court decision in Gayman, and approve the district court decision in Williams. Petitioner Dorcy Gayman was found guilty of petit theft by a jury. At sentencing, the trial judge adjudicated Gayman guilty of felony petit theft under section 812.014(2)(d), Florida Statutes (1989), based on two prior convictions for petit theft....
...Gayman received a five-year sentence as a result of the felony petit theft, with a five-year minimum mandatory provision under the habitual violent felony offender statute. Petitioner Kelvin Williams was arrested for retail theft, pleaded no contest, and was adjudicated guilty of felony petit theft under section 812.014(2)(d) because of two prior petit theft convictions....
...This contention is premised on the argument that, although each was convicted of only one offense for one act, namely, petit theft, each was punished twice for that one act. They argue that the first punishment was the reclassification of petit theft to felony petit theft under section
812.014(2)(d), and that the second punishment was the classification of each as a habitual offender under section
775.084, Florida Statutes (1989), based on their prior felony records....
...Although they acknowledge that a defendant's recidivism may be used to increase the punishment, they argue that it may not be used twice to increase the punishment. Petitioners acknowledge that in State v. Harris,
356 So.2d 315 (Fla. 1978), this Court determined that felony petit theft under section
812.014(2)(d) was a separate, substantive offense rather than an enhanced penalty....
...[1] However, they contend that we determined felony petit theft to be a substantive offense merely because to have held otherwise would have caused jurisdictional problems between county and circuit courts. Petitioners assert that, in reality, an adjudication of felony petit theft under 812.014(2)(d) is an enhancement of petit theft to felony petit theft and, consequently, like the habitual felony offender statute, such an enhancement provides an increased punishment for a repeat offender....
...We disagree. While the United States and Florida Constitutions do prohibit courts from imposing multiple punishments for the same offense, [2] we find that principle is not implicated under these circumstances. In Harris, we upheld the constitutionality of section 812.014(2)(d) and specifically determined that felony petit theft was a separate substantive offense....

...The court reversed the second conviction on double jeopardy grounds. We believe that Hearn, which antedated the enactment of the theft statute, conflicts with the legislature's intent regarding the allowable unit of prosecution under parts 2 through 4 of section 812.014(2)(b). Thus, since we deal today with part 3 of subsection (2)(b), Hearn necessarily yields. Our legislature, in enacting section 812.014 in 1977, prefaced the respective item of property in parts 2 through 4 of subsection (2)(b) with the article "a" ("2....
...In other words, its use of different articles signifies its intent, with respect to simultaneously pilfered firearms (or testamentary instruments or motor vehicles), to treat separately each stick in the bundle. Therefore, notwithstanding Hearn, we hold today that a common sense reading of the plain language of section 812.014(2)(b) demonstrates that the legislature unmistakably intended for the simultaneous unlawful taking of more than one firearm to be subject to a separate prosecution (and punishment) as to each firearm so taken....

[5] Of course, with respect to part 7 of § 812.014(2)(b), but only with respect to part 7, it was immaterial which article the legislature used ("any" or "an") in establishing the allowable unit of prosecution, because it is factually impossible to commit simultaneous violations of part 7.

...Our sister court, citing to Hearn and Drakes, vacated one of the terms of imprisonment, holding that the simultaneous violation of different parts of subsection (2)(b) is a single violation of the theft statute. We do not believe that Hearn controls in a situation where a person simultaneously violates different parts of §

The body of the information charges that appellant did "unlawfully take possession of, or carry away, merchandise of a value of $100 or more," with the intent to deprive the owner of the "full retail value of said property; contrary to chapter 812.014/812.015, Florida Statutes." It is apparent that throughout the proceedings below, appellant, appellee, State of Florida, and the court considered that appellant was charged with and tried for grand theft of the second degree....
...The trial judge agreed, specifically stating that he did not "think we are dealing with market value." On the same day as the jury returned its verdict, the trial judge entered a judgment adjudicating appellant guilty of "Retail Theft" with the words "Grand Theft" entered parenthetically thereunder, and citing "812.014/812.015" as the "Offense Statute Number(s)." Sentencing was continued pending completion of a pre-sentence investigation....
...On the day of sentencing, inexplicably, another judgment was entered which adjudicated appellant guilty of "Retail Theft." This second judgment states only "retail theft" as the crime for which appellant was convicted. While it makes no reference to "Grand Theft," it cites as the "Offense Statute Number(s)" only section "
812.014(2)(b)(1)." Our colleagues at the Third District Court of Appeal held in Tobe that under section
812.015, "retail theft" of merchandise where its sale value is alleged and proved, is a second degree misdemeanor, separate and apart from a "theft" under section
812.014....
...a misdemeanor. Only in section
812.015(2) is punishment referred to in regard to "theft," and that subsection is an enhancement provision that refers to "a second or subsequent conviction for petit theft involving merchandise." (Emphasis supplied.) Section
812.014(2)(c) does provide that theft of any property not specified in section
812.014(2)(a) or (b), is petit theft and a misdemeanor of the second degree. However, we conclude that theft of merchandise offered for sale in a retail establishment is included in section
812.014(2)(a) or (b), if the sale price is $100 or more....
...d ever be less than the market value of the property at the time and place of the offense, as "value" is defined in section

812.014(2)(a) or (b), and if less than $100, it is petit theft under section
812.014(2)(c). We arrive at our conclusion that there is no separate crime of "retail theft" of merchandise where value is alleged and proved by an analysis of the legislative history of what are now sections

812.015, Florida Statutes (1981)....

In 1977, the legislature enacted chapter 77-342, Laws of Florida (1977) which, among other things, repealed [1] section 812.021, the general larceny statute, and enacted [2] in its place the new "theft" statute, now section 812.014, Florida Statutes (1983). In 1978, by chapter 78-348, the legislature again amended section 812.014, Florida Statutes (1977) to add "knowingly" to the definition of theft....
...At the same time, the retail theft arrest statute, section 901.34 was repealed [3] and re-enacted, with amendments, as section

...The state contended below and maintains here that the crime charged under the omnibus "Theft" statute is possession of stolen property rather than common law larceny. Dismissal was based upon failure to include an allegation that there was specific intent to permanently deprive the victim of his property. Under Section 812.014(1), Florida Statutes (1979), the actual taking or theft of property is defined as obtaining the property with a specific criminal intent....
...The intent required for the crime of theft is a) to deprive the person from whom the property is taken of a right to that property or a benefit therefrom or b) to appropriate the property to the use of one other than the person entitled thereto. Prior to the enactment of Section 812.014, larceny was defined in Section 812.021, Florida Statutes (1975), as the taking of property from a person "with the intent to unlawfully deprive or defraud the true owner of his property or of the use and benefit thereof, or to appropriate the same to the use of the taker or of any other person."

812.014 (1992). [4] Defendants distinguish their case from binding case law that has interpreted section 523(a)(6) as allowing treble damages awarded under Fla.Stat. §
812.014 to be excepted from debtors' discharge. (Defendants' Brief at 1-2) The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has held that damages arising out of a violation of Fla.Stat. §
812.014 is not dischargeable under section 523(a)(2)(A). See Sunco Sales, Inc. v. Latch (In re Latch),
820 F.2d 1163 (11th Cir.1987). In Latch, a judgment creditor appealed the bankruptcy court's judgment not excepting from debtors' discharge an award of damages arising from a violation of Fla.Stat. §
812.014. Id. at 1165. The creditor argued the debtor should not be granted a discharge under section 523(a)(6) because the state court jury's findings of liability under Fla.Stat. §
812.014 is enough to establish nondischargeability under the section 523(a)(6) language of "willful and malicious injury." Id....
...The Eleventh Circuit affirmed. Id. The Court of Appeals addressed whether the creditor proved the "willful and malicious" element necessary to establish nondischargeability under section 523(a)(6). Id. The Court of Appeals held that the statutory language of Fla.Stat.
812.014 requires a showing of "intent," and this showing of intent satisfies the "willful and malicious" element of section 523(a)(6). Id. The Court of Appeals reasoned that the statutory language of Fla.Stat. §
812.014 clearly requires intent to do a wrongful act, not mere negligence or recklessness. Id. Thus, one can conclude that because a defendant is convicted under Fla.Stat. §
812.014, that the defendant is also "willful and malicious" within the meaning of section 523(a)(6). Id. Defendants also direct the Court's attention to Johnson v. Keene (In re Keene),
135 B.R. 162 (Bankr.S.D.Fla.1991), where an award of treble damages under Fla.Stat.
812.014 was found nondischargeable. The Keene court held that the state court's judgment decided all of the issues necessary to prove an exception to discharge under section 523(a)(6). Here, defendants concede that treble damages awarded under Fla.Stat.
812.014 can be held nondischargeable under section 523(a)(6), but insist that this case is distinguishable from Latch and Keene....

...At his first trial the jury acquitted him of second-degree murder and aggravated battery. The jury hung on the third-degree felony murder count, and the State retried Colletti on that charge. The information identified Colletti's underlying felony as the grand theft of items he took from the victim's residence. Section 812.014(2)(d), Florida Statutes (2008), establishes the crime of third-degree grand theft when property valued at $100 or more is taken from a dwelling or the curtilage of a dwelling....
...Specifically, the plan was to convince the victim to open his wall safe so that Colletti could obtain his repayment. Thus, the State asserted, it proved that Colletti had "endeavored" to commit grand theft because he was seeking *501 repayment of sums in excess of the $100 threshold. See § 812.014(1) ("A person commits theft if he or she knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain or use, the property of another...."); State v....

...The statute pays no heed to the perpetrator's knowledge or intent when delineating the degrees of the crime based on the value of the property taken. Thus, as was alleged in this case, the theft would be a third-degree felony "if the property stolen is valued at $100 or more, but less than $300" and is taken from a dwelling. § 812.014(2)(d) (emphasis supplied)....
...In construing statutory language similar to the instant statute, this Court concluded that the words "or endeavors" reveals a legislative intent to define the substantive offense as including the attempt to commit the substantive offense. See Sykes,

1. Grand Theft
Section 812.014(1) of the Florida Statutes (2013), Florida’s theft statute,

or endeavors to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to,...
...Thus, the State failed to
present competent, substantial evidence that Mr. Garcia knowingly obtained Ms.

...Notwithstanding this direct evidence, Mr. Garcia argues that the State
failed to present any evidence to prove that he had the requisite specific intent
either to deprive Ms. Macriello of her property or to appropriate the property to his
own use. See § 812.014(1), Fla....
...Garcia’s theft conviction must be reduced to third-degree grand theft
The State charged and indicted Mr. Garcia with second-degree grand theft,
which requires that the property stolen be valued “at $20,000 or more, but less than
$100,000.” § 812.014(2)(b), Fla. Stat. (2013). Whereas, if the property stolen is
valued between $300 and $19,999, it is grand theft of the third degree. See §

812.014(3)(c) does not require two prior petit theft convictions. Molfetto’s reliance on State v. Jackson,
526 So.2d 58 (Fla. 1988), and its progeny is misplaced. Although Jackson held that two predicate petit theft convictions were required, the court was construing the 1985 version of section

The district court, however, acknowledged that its decision conflicted with D.N.

...There, as in G.C., the court noted that the state did not offer any evidence that D.N. exercised possession, dominion, or control over the stolen vehicle. The driver was in possession and control of the vehicle at all times. Based on a broad construction of section
812.014, the court reasoned that, “[p]re-sumably, the lack of possession or control is made up by a finding of the requisite specific criminal intent to use the property without the owner’s permission.” D.N.,
529 So.2d at 1221 . Thus, D.N. held that proof of unauthorized use or enjoyment of another’s property, with knowledge that it is stolen, is sufficient to constitute theft under section
812.014. We disagree with D.N. Although this Court has characterized the language of the omnibus theft statute *1382 as broad, 3 the statute cannot be construed so broadly as to remove the specific-intent element of the crime. Section

In Case No. 14-8039, the information’s body indicated that the
defendant committed third degree grand theft of a stereo/DVD/CD player
with satellite radio and an iPhone case and charger. The information
referred to section 812.014(1), Florida Statutes (2014), which defines
“theft,” and more importantly, section 812.014(2)(c), Florida Statutes
(2014), which provided that third degree grand theft includes, in pertinent
part, stolen property: “1. Valued at $300 or more, but less than $5,000; 2.
Valued at $5,000 or more, but less than $10,000; and 3. Valued at
$10,000 or more, but less than $20,000.” However, the information’s
reference to section 812.014(2)(c) did not indicate which of the three dollar
value subsections applied to the described stolen property....
...14-8039’s grand theft charge to have been scored as a
Level 4 offense, the charge’s information would have had to allege that the
stolen property’s value was “$10,000 or more, but less than $20,000.”
§
921.0022(3)(d), Fla. Stat. (2018). Or that charge’s information would
have had to identify subsection (3) of Section
812.014(2)(c), Florida

or more, but less than $20,000.” §

Instead, as the defendant argues, and as the state concedes, Case No.
14-8039’s information’s absence of an allegation that the stolen property’s
value was “$10,000 or more, but less than $20,000,” and absence of a

Because we do not consider Advanced’s conduct to constitute theft under section 812.014, or to amount to a conversion, we set aside the district court’s treble damages award and award Automated only compensatory damages for Advanced’s breach of contract....

812.014. Without holding that conduct amounting to a breach of contract can never constitute theft, we conclude that on the *1507 facts of this case Advanced did not violate section
812.014....

The district court of appeal reversed, holding that the bank was entitled only to damages for breach of contract.

434 So.2d 325 (Fla.1983), the court held that the inclusion in section
812.014(1) of the words “or endeavors to obtain or use” revealed “a legislative intent to define theft as including the attempt to commit theft.” Id. at 327 . Consequently, the court held, it was error to instruct the jury on attempt to commit theft as a lesser included offense of the theft charge. In State v. Lewis,
364 So.2d 1223 , the trial court had held sections
812.014(1)(b) and (2)(b) unconstitutional because they were so indefinite and overbroad that inherently innocent conduct was prohibited, in violation of the due process clause, and in violation of the right to acquire, possess, and protect property, and of the right to contract....

...We must observe, however, that such a broad interpretation of this statutory concept — use or endeavor to use the property of another without authorized permission— can lead to bizarre, if not absurd, results. 4 For example, to demonstrate the absurdity of interpreting 812.014 to encompass the facts of this case where appellant exercised no possession or control over the stolen vehicle, appellant asks whether a hitchhiker who accepts a ride in an automobile that he later finds to be stolen would be guilty of grand...

...Accordingly, we affirm.
Background
Meyer was arrested on November 18, 2012, for stealing an iPhone with
a value over $300, but less than $5,000. He was charged with one count of
felony “Grand Theft” in the third degree under sections 812.014(1) & (2)(c),
Florida Statutes....
...Around December
of 2013, Meyer violated probation for a third time, but evaded arrest for
almost six years. Meyer was finally arrested for his violation on August 22,
2
2019. On October 4, 2019, the circuit court revoked his probation,
adjudicated him guilty of violating sections 812.014(1) & (2)(c), and
sentenced him to eight months in jail.
Prior to Meyer’s conviction, however, the legislature amended section
812.014....
...The legislature changed the elements of a felony theft to
encompass higher value items, thereby making Meyer’s actions a
misdemeanor. 1 The amendment took effect on October 1, 2019, three days
before Meyer was adjudicated and sentenced. Ch. Law 2019-167, § 36.

The 2012 version of section 812.014 provides:
(c) It is grand theft of the third degree and a felony of the third
degree, punishable as provided in s....
...(e) Except as provided in paragraph (d), if the property stolen is

petit theft of the first degree, punishable as a misdemeanor of the
first degree, as provided in s.
775.082 or s.
775.083.
§
812.014, Fla. Stat. (2012).
The 2019 version of section
812.014 provides:
(c) It is grand theft of the third degree and a felony of the third
degree, punishable as provided in s....
...(e) Except as provided in paragraph (d), if the property stolen is
valued at $100 or more, but less than $750, the offender commits
petit theft of the first degree, punishable as a misdemeanor of the
first degree, as provided in s.
775.082 or s.
775.083.
§
812.014, Fla. Stat. (2019).

Applying the amended section
812.014 retroactively, Meyer argues that the
circuit court lacked jurisdiction to punish a misdemeanor and therefore the
case must be dismissed.
Section
775.022 reads:
(3) Except as expressly provided in an act of the...
...Stat. (2019).
We believe the key fact here is that the circuit court entered orders of
probation prior to the statutory change. The argument that the circuit court
lost jurisdiction to enforce its probation orders based on the amendment to
section 812.014 conflicts with the statutes expressly granting the court that

enters an order of probation the jurisdiction to enforce its order....

812.014(3) defense might be established by the evidence in a prosecution for theft, it could still be avoided by the state proving beyond a reasonable doubt that written demand in compliance with the statute was submitted and that the property was not returned within the specified time. Testimony presented at trial revealed that this case grew out of the appellant’s alleged failure to comply with the terms of a multi-year lease of the automobile. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, this testimony established the

450 So.2d 489 (Fla.1984). But the state presented no evidence inconsistent with the defense. Although there was evidence of a letter submitted to the appellant by the lessor of the automobile, it fell well short of compliance with the written demand specified by
812.014(3). Accordingly, upon proper motion, the appellant was entitled to judgment of acquittal. The state argues that the appellant was not entitled to rely upon the
812.014(3) defense because the lease contract gave the appellant a purchase option. But the purchase option did not change the nature of the contract for purposes of the
