Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 14.18
Issues In Criminal Trespass To A Residence
To sustain the charge of criminal trespass to a residence, the State must prove the
following propositions:
First Proposition: That the defendant knowingly [(entered) (remained within)] a
residence; and
Second Proposition: That the defendant [(entered) (remained within)] the residence
without authority to do so.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each one of these propositions
has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant guilty.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any one of these propositions
has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the defendant not guilty.
