The defendant may not be found guilty unless the state proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offense charged within _______ years before the action was commenced.
Comment
I.C. ss 19-401 to 19-405
This instruction should be used only when the statute of limitation has been raised as a defense. The committee recommends that the jury not be required by special verdict form to find whether the statute of limitation defense was established. Because of the state's general burden of proof, a simple finding of guilty or not guilty of the offense charged should suffice.
