Fl. R. Crim. P. 3.570
Committee Notes
1968 Adoption. Rule 3.570 is same as section 919.22, Florida Statutes.
Section 919.23, Florida Statutes, was not included in the rules. This deals with the recommendation of mercy and it was felt that this was not procedural but substantive and not within the scope of the rulemaking power of the supreme court.
1972 Amendment. Same as prior rule.
