each of the above elements of printing or distributing a facsimile of an official identification

card, then you shall find the defendant guilty of printing or distributing a facsimile of an

official identification card.

If you find that the State has failed to prove any one or more of the elements of the

offense of printing or distributing a facsimi le of an official identification card, then you

cannot find the defendant guilty of printing or distributing a facsimile of an official

offenses at this point.]
