Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 3.12A
Injury Resulting from Commission of a Crime
The defendant claims that the plaintiff is not entitled to damages because the plaintiff was injured while committing a crime. The plaintiff was convicted of committing the crime of ___________. You may not award damages to the plaintiff if:
(1) the defendant proves it is more likely true than not true that the plaintiff was injured while committing the crime; and
(2) the defendant proves by clear and convincing evidence that the plaintiff’s criminal conduct substantially contributed to the plaintiff’s injury.
An alleged fact is established by clear and convincing evidence if the evidence leads you to conclude that the alleged fact is highly probable. It is not necessary that the alleged fact be certainly true or true beyond a reasonable doubt or conclusively true. However, it is not enough to show that the alleged fact is more likely true than not true.
