nstruction 16.11.
Although Se
ction 21- 3 does not include a mental state, the Committee provided three
alternative mental states pursuant to People v. Grant, 101 Ill.App.3d 43, 47- 48, 427 N.E.2d 810,
814, 56 Ill.Dec. 478, 482 (1st Dist.1981), which held that Section 4- 3 incorporates a mental state
requirement into this offense. See 720 ILCS 5/4- 3(b) (West, 1992) (formerly Ill.Rev.Stat. ch. 38,
§4-3(b) (1991)). Select the mental state consistent with the charge. If the charging instrument
alleges the existence of more than one mental state, the same alternative mental states may be
included in the instruction. See the Committee Note to Instruction 5.01A regarding the
applicable mental state.
Use appli
cable bracketed material.
When acc
ountability is an issue, ordinarily insert the phrase “or one for whose conduct he
is legally responsible” after the word “defendant” in each proposition. See Instruction 5.03.
