Noncompliance with Venereal Disease or HIV Exam -- § 54-102a (c)
The defendant is charged [in count__] with refusal to comply with a court order to submit to a
test to determine whether (he/she) is suffering from (venereal disease / Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) / Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)). The statute defining
this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
any person who fails to comply with any order of any court under the provisions of
this section shall be guilty.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements
beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Test ordered
The first element is that the defendant was ordered by a court to submit to an examination for
(venereal disease / AIDS / HIV).
Element 2 - Failure to comply
The second element is that the defendant failed to comply with the order.
Conclusion
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant was ordered
by a court to submit to an examination for (venereal disease / AIDS / HIV), and 2) (he/she) failed
to comply with the order.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements
of noncompliance with a court order requiring an examination for (venereal disease / AIDS /
HIV), then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that
the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find
the defendant not guilty.
