CALCRIM No. 1906
Forging and Passing or Attempting to Pass: Two Theories
in One Count
The defendant is charged [in Count] with forgery of [a/an]
<insert type[s] of document[s] from Pen. Code, § 470(d)>.
The defendant is being prosecuted for forgery under two theories: (1)
that the defendant forged the document; and (2) that the defendant
(passed[,]/ used[,]/ [or] (attempted/ [or] offered) to use) the forged
document.
Each theory of forgery has different requirements, and I have instructed
you on both.
Y ou may not find the defendant guilty of forgery unless all of you agree
that the People have proved that the defendant committed forgery under
at least one theory. But all of you do not have to agree on the same
theory.
