Florida Supreme Court/Leon County Court by Slidely - Slideshow maker
The Supreme Court Committee on Standard Jury Instructions in Criminal Cases submitted
proposed changes on September 26 to the standard jury instructions and requested that the Court
authorize the amended standard instructions.
The new instructions that the committee requested were official misconduct and money
laundering. Both proposals were published in The Florida Bar News.
After the Florida Supreme Court reviewed the proposals, new instructions were authorized for
publication. Instruction 19.7, Official Misconduct, was authorized with minor modification to the
comment section to include a citation to Florida Statutes, for proposition that the term “public
servant” does not include a candidate who does not qualify as a public servant. Instruction 26.9,
Money Laundering, was authorized as proposed.
The new instructions have been authorized for use of publication. The Florida Supreme Court
stated that there was no opinion on their correctness and that the authorization forecloses neither
requesting additional or alternative instructions nor contesting the legal correctness of the
instructions.

Natural
Hair: A movement or just a trend?
TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Many African American
women across America are making a drastic shift from texturized hair back to
their natural roots. Some may say that they are doing it just for the style of
it, while other are doing it for a more sentimental reason - to find out who
they really are.
Over the past decade, black women have
went through many style eras when it came to their hair. They rocked short
cuts, shaved heads, braids, dreadlocks and weaves, but now it seems like they
are over it all.
Statistics show that 77% of black women
have had a perm at some point in their lives while the remaining percent have
chosen to stay completely natural.
There are several natural haircare
service providers in Tallahassee who encourage women to care for their hair and
revert back to their natural roots.
Valencia Jones, owner and master braider
of Mandiza Ngozi: Art and Hair Gallery,
had plans on becoming a psychologist upon graduating from Florida
A&M University. But instead her passion for hair led her to establish the
first natural hair care gallery in North Florida.
"I believe with what we are doing
here with natural hair care it has a deeper meaning like I said it relates to
our culture. It's something that is healthy."
Mandiza, which means sweet blessings in
EBO, is one of several hair businesses that continue to thrive during tough
economic times. The gallery offers a variety of hair services from traditional
braids, loci extensions, herbal oil treatments and natural hair care products.
Some black women who decide to
transition from relaxed hair to their kinky curls say that it gives them self-assurance
and they feel redefined when they are showing off their kinks.
Alicia Penn, a natural hair advocated
said that her choice to transition from her relaxed hair was one of the best
decisions that she has ever made.
"It kind of hurt a little bit to
cut off my long hair at first, but now that I see how beautiful my hair has
grown and the texture of it…I'm just in love with it," Alicia said.
"I'm so happy I made this decision…it definitely changed my life, how I
view the world and even my future."
This raises the question: is natural
hair becoming a movement or is it just another trend?

ROSR Script:
“A decision is expected today in Leon County Court related to the validity of certain redlight cameras used to detect traffic violations. Earlier last year the county court encountered many cases filed against the city of Tallahassee questioning the legality of the redlight cameras. The decision on whether or not the court will order the city to review the validity of the traffic lights will be made in approximately one hour. In Tallahassee, Samone Davis, FNN.”
