CALCRIM No. 3220
Amount of Loss (Pen. Code, § 12022.6)
If you find the defendant guilty of the crime[s] charged in Count[s]
[,] [or of attempting to commit (that/those) crime[s]][or the lesser
crimes[s] of <insert lesser offense[s]>], you must then
decide whether the People have proved the additional allegation that the
value of the property [(taken[,]/[or] damaged[,]/[or] destroyed)] was
more than $ <insert amount alleged>.
To prove this allegation, the People must prove that:
<Alternative A: took, damaged, or destroyed property>
[1. In the commission [or attempted commission] of the crime, the
defendant (took[,]/[or] damaged[,]/[or] destroyed) property;
AND
2. The [total] loss caused by the defendant’s (taking[,]/[or]
damaging[,]/[or] destroying) the property was greater than
$ <insert amount alleged>.]
[If you find the defendant guilty of more than one crime, you may add
together the loss suffered by each victim in Count[s] <specify all
counts that jury may use to compute cumulative total loss> to determine
whether the total losses to all the victims were more than $
<insert amount alleged> if the People prove that:
A. The defendant (took[,]/[or] damaged[,]/[or] destroyed) property
in each crime;
AND
B. The losses arose from a common scheme or plan.]
[When computing the amount of loss according to this instruction, do
not count any taking, damage, or destruction more than once simply
because it is mentioned in more than one count, if the taking, damage, or
destruction mentioned in those counts refers to the same taking, damage,
or destruction with respect to the same victim.]
<Alternative B: Penal Code section 496 violation(s)>
[The property value and/or loss amount was greater than $
<insert amount alleged>.]
[If you find the defendant guilty of more than one felony violation of
receiving stolen property, you may combine the stolen property value
and/or loss amount in Count[s] <specify all counts that jury may
use to compute cumulative total loss> to determine whether the total value
and/or loss amount was more than $ <insert amount alleged> if
the People prove that the crimes arose from a common scheme or plan.]
[The value of property is the fair market value of the property.]
The People have the burden of proving this allegation beyond a
reasonable doubt. If the People have not met this burden, you must find
that the allegation has not been proved.
