But is it a judge or a jury in Florida that determines whether a sex offender is a predator or not? I think the US Supreme court ruling will mean that a jury will have to make that determination and not left solely up to a judge.


It is the Judge not a Jury that determines predator status. It sort of sounds more complicated than it really is. While in Court upon conviction, the State simply files a notice if the Defendant meets the criteria of a pred. It's pretty much automatic. I never heard of a situation where a person was noticed and the Judge did not officially determine the status as a pred. It's not quite the process other states have. It's a piece of paper thrown in front of the Judge that he simply signs. There's no discussion or evaluation.

I hate the mere thought of the system getting bogged down with more red tape and processes, but maybe it shouldn't be automatic. Although, in Florida everyone is on the internet anyway, I wonder if the preds will really care one way or another. It should be interesting.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.
