resources [describe];

(2) The total value of material support or resources exceeded $1000; (AND)

(3) The defendant did so with intent that material support or resources would

which a person may be convicted in the criminal courts of this state, or an act or acts

of the United States which contains all of the essential el ements of a specified offense,

that is intended to do the following [read as appropriate]:

If you find from the evidence that the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt

each of the above elements of soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism in the

first degree, then you shall find the defendant guilty of soliciting or providing support for

an act of terrorism in the first degree.

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

soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism in the first degree, then you cannot

find the defendant guilty of soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism in the first

degree.

[If lesser-included offenses are included, the Court should instruct on those

offenses at this point.]
