an employee, the State must prove the following propositions:
First Proposition: That the defendant was an employee of a penal institution; and
Second Proposition: That the defendant knowingly possessed [(cannabis) (a controlled
substance) (a hypodermic syringe)] regardless of the intent with which he possessed it; and
Third Proposition: That the defendant did so in a penal institution; and
Fourth Proposition: That the defendant did so without authority from the person[s]
[(designated) (authorized)] to grant such authority.
If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each one of these propositions

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.
