CALCRIM No. 2577

Bodily Injury (Pen. Code, § 18750)

The defendant is charged [in Count] with (exploding/ [or]

igniting) (an explosive/ [or] a destructive device) causing bodily injury to

another person [in violation of Penal Code section 18750].

To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must

prove that:

1. The defendant willfully and maliciously (exploded/ [or] ignited)

(an explosive/ [or] a destructive device);

AND

2. The explosion caused bodily injury to another person.

Someone commits an act willfully when he or she does it willingly or on

purpose. It is not required that he or she intend to break the law, hurt

someone else, or gain any advantage.

Someone acts maliciously when he or she intentionally does a wrongful

act or when he or she acts with the unlawful intent to annoy or injure

someone else.

[An explosive is any substance, or combination of substances, (1) whose

main or common purpose is to detonate or rapidly combust and (2)

which is capable of a relatively instantaneous or rapid release of gas and

heat.]

[An explosive is also any substance whose main purpose is to be

combined with other substances to create a new substance that can

release gas and heat rapidly or relatively instantaneously.]

[<insert type of explosive from Health & Saf. Code, § 12000>

is an explosive.]

[A destructive device is <insert definition from Pen. Code,

§ 16460>.]

[<insert type of destructive device from Pen. Code, § 16460>

is a destructive device.]

[The term[s] (explosive/ [and] destructive device) (is/are) defined in

another instruction.]

[An act causes bodily injury if the injury is the direct, natural, and

probable consequence of the act, and the injury would not have

happened without the act. A natural and probable consequence is one

that a reasonable person would know is likely to happen if nothing

unusual intervenes. In deciding whether a consequence is natural and

probable, consider all of the circumstances established by the evidence.]

[There may be more than one cause of bodily injury. An act causes

bodily injury only if it is a substantial factor in causing the injury. A

substantial factor is more than a trivial or remote factor. However, it

need not be the only factor that causes the injury.]
