COLJI-Crim. F:141
FALSELY COMPLETE (FORGERY AND IMPERSONATION OFFENSES)
To “falsely complete” a written instrument means to transform an
incomplete written instrument into a complete one by adding, inserting, or
changing matter without the authority of anyone entitled to grant that
authority, so that the complete written instrument falsely appears or
purports to be in all respects an authentic creation of or fully authorized by
its ostensible maker; or to transform an incomplete written instrument into
a complete one by adding or inserting materially false information or
adding or inserting a materially false statement.
A materially false statement is a false assertion that affects the action,
conduct, or decision of the person who receives or is intended to receive
the asserted information in a manner that directly or indirectly benefits the
person making the assertion.
