COLJI-Crim. F:144
FALSELY MAKE (FORGERY)
To “falsely make” a written instrument means to make or draw a
written instrument, whether complete or incomplete, which purports to be
an authentic creation of its ostensible maker, but which is not, either
because the ostensible maker is fictitious or because, if real, he did not
authorize the making or the drawing thereof.
