H.R.S. § 710-1040(1)(b)

[In Count (count number) of the Indictment/Complaint, the]

[The] Defendant, (defendant's name), is charged with the offense

of Bribery.

A person commits the offense of Bribery if he/she, while a

public servant, [solicits] [accepts] [agrees to accept],

directly or indirectly, any pecuniary benefit with the intent

that his/her [vote] [opinion] [judgment] [exercise of

discretion] [other action] as a public servant will thereby be

influenced.

There are three material elements of the offense of

Bribery, each of which the prosecution must prove beyond a

reasonable doubt.

These three elements are:

1. That, on or about (date) in the [City and] County of

(name of county), the Defendant [solicited] [accepted] [agreed

to accept], directly or indirectly, a pecuniary benefit; and

2. That the Defendant did so with the intent that his/her

[vote] [opinion] [judgment] [exercise of discretion] [other

action] as a public servant would thereby be influenced; and

3. That the Defendant was, at that time, a public

servant.

"Public servant" means any officer or employee of any

branch of government, whether elected, appointed, or otherwise

employed, and any person participating as advisor, consultant,

or otherwise, in performing a governmental function[, and

includes persons who have been elected, appointed, or designated

to become a public servant although not yet occupying that

position].
