ERVIN T. JOHNSON, APPELLANT,
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
997 So. 2d 506
Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2008)
Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Smith v. State, 920 So. 2d 744 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006) (holding civil commitment under Sexual Predator Act required finding that sexual offender was “likely” to reoffend, and therefore, sexual offender who was subject of civil commitment proceedings under Act, was not entitled to jury instruction requiring finding that he was “highly likely” to reof-fend); State v. Bryant, 901 So. 2d 381 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (holding that modified jury instruction, which required finding that sex offender was “highly likely” rather than “likely” to offend, improperly created higher standard of proof for state than provided by statute).
