condition of bond, probation, or parole, or any other court
order had issued against the defendant, and

condition of bond, probation, or parole, or any other court
order was in effect at the time the defendant committed the
stalking offense of which you found him [her] guilty, and
3. that temporary or permanent protection order, injunction, or
condition of bond, probation, or parole, or any other court
order prohibited [insert description of behavior constituting
stalking].
The prosecution has the burden to prove each numbered condition
beyond a reasonable doubt.

met this burden, you should mark “Yes” in the appropriate place, and have
the foreperson sign the designated line of the verdict form.
