• cautioning “the State and trial judges about the use of ‘and/or’ in informa-tions and jury instructions” because such use “may create the possibility for non-unanimous verdicts”
• “The State’s opportunity to pursue alternative theories of the commission of a crime includes situations in which the information alleges more than one victim.”
• “Courts must analyse the totality of the record to determine -if an errant instruction is fundamental error.” (quoting Dempsey v. State, 72 So.3d 258, 261 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011))
• “It is the trial judge’s responsibility to ‘ensure that the jury is fully and correctly instructed as to the applicable law.’ The importance of proper jury instructions is particularly critical where the State pursues alternative theories of guilt.”
