COLJI-Crim. I:02.INT

If you found the defendant guilty of [insert the name of the felony

charge], you should disregard the remainder of this instruction and sign

Section A of the verdict form for that charge to indicate your verdict of

guilty.

If, however, you found the defendant not guilty of [insert the name of

the felony charge], you should sign Section A of the verdict form to

indicate your verdict of not guilty, and you should also answer the

following verdict question in Section B of the verdict form:

Did you find the defendant not guilty solely based on the defense of

insanity? (Answer “Yes” or “No”)

The Court reminds you that the prosecution has the burden to prove

beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime charged, including

that the defendant was not insane at the time of the commission of the act.

If you decided that the only element of the crime charged that the

prosecution failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt is that the

defendant was sane at the time of the commission of the act, you should

mark “Yes” in the appropriate place in Section B of the verdict form, and

have the foreperson sign the designated line in that section of the verdict

form. If you decided that the prosecution failed to prove any other element

beyond a reasonable doubt, you should mark “No” in the appropriate

place in Section B of the verdict form, and have the foreperson sign the

designated line in that section of the verdict form.
