What is a Capital Felony?

In Florida, there are numerous offenses that can be considered capital or life felonies. Generally speaking, these are serious, first-degree felonies that also meet other specific statutory requirements.

For a felony to be considered a capital felony, it should either:

  • Involve the intentional killing of another person
  • Involve conduct that the offender knew would lead to a natural death
  • Involve an offender who knew their offense would likely result in a death

Some common examples of capital felonies include first-degree murder, capital sexual battery, armed kidnapping, and some instances of first-degree controlled substance trafficking, manufacturing, or importation. If you have been charged with one of these crimes, then it is absolutely imperative that you meet the state’s accusations with effective, hard-hitting counsel.
