Conn. Crim. Jury Instr. 2.3-6
Intent to Defraud
A person acts with the intent to defraud when (he/she) deceives or tricks another person with the
intent to deprive that person of (his/her) right, or in some manner to do (him/her) an injury.
The word “defraud” means to practice fraud, to cheat or trick, to deprive a person of property or
any interest or right by fraud, deceit or artifice.
The meaning of “fraud,” both in its legal usage and its common usage, is the same: a deliberately
planned purpose and intent to cheat or deceive or unlawfully deprive someone of some
advantage, benefit or property. “Fraudulently” means done, made or effected with a purpose or
design to carry out a fraud.
