Unlawfully Administering Drugs
UNLAWFULLY ADMINISTERING DRUGS
In order to find Defendant guilty of Unlawfully Administering Drugs, you
must find the State has proved the following three (3) elements beyond a
reasonable doubt:
(1) Defendant administered a drug to a person without that person’s
consent, causing stupor, unconsciousness or other alteration of the person’s
physical or mental condition;
(2) The drug was not administered as a lawful medical or therapeutic
treatment; and
(3) Defendant acted intentionally.
“Drug" means any substance or preparation capable of producing any
alteration of the physical, mental or emotional condition of a person.
“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to
cause stupor, unconsciousness or other alteration of a person’s physical, mental or
emotional condition.
“Consent” means the voluntary agreement by a person who has sufficient
mental capacity to make an intelligent choice to do something. It means a person
deliberately or voluntarily approved or agreed with the act of another.
