Orange County, Florida · Circuit Court · Speedy trial: Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.191 · Release: Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.131; Fla. Stat. § 903.046
[Florida — Inability-to-pay / Bearden ROR proffer] Counsel for R.M., case 2026-CF-004182, filing and serving notice regarding the grand jury. My client does not waive any right relating to the grand jury presentment. The defense also demands in writing that the following substantial exculpatory evidence be presented to the grand jurors: [EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE]. I ask that this notice and demand be filed in the court file and that the grand jury proceedings — including the legal instructions given — be recorded and preserved. Your Honor, my client is indigent. Under Bearden v. Georgia, 461 U.S. 660 (1983), and Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.131; Fla. Stat. § 903.046, the Court may not detain by setting a bond my client has no ability to post without first inquiring into that ability and considering alternatives. We ask the Court to make that inquiry on the record and grant release on personal recognizance, or on conditions no more restrictive than necessary to secure appearance and community safety, as required by Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.131; Fla. Stat. § 903.046.
