Pursuant to Florida Statutes 111.065, (3) I am requesting that the City of Miami provide
an attorney to represent me in the above listed criminal case and pay the reasonable attorney's
fees and costs because the actions that gave rise to the charge(s):
X Occurred in response to what I reasonably believed was an emergency; or
X
Occurred when I reasonably believed that my action was necessary to protect
myself or others from eminent death or bodily harm; or
Occurred in the course of my fresh pursuit, apprehension, or attempted
apprehension of a suspect whom I reasonably believed had perpetrated, or
attempted to perpetrate, a forcible felony as defined in § 776.08, Florida
Statutes, or the offense of escape.
(Check all of the above that apply. You must check at least one.)
The actions which give rise to the charge(s) arose within the course and scope of my duties and
were not acts of omission or commission which constituted a material departure from the City's
written policies or procedures, or generally recognized criminal justice standards if no written
policies or procedures exist.
As I am sure you understand, I am in immediate need of counsel and I look forward to a
prompt response.
Very truly yours,
Gt
