Ill. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) 23.04

To sustain the charge of aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer

[causing damage to property in excess of $300], the State must prove the following propositions:

First Proposition: That the defendant was the driver or operator of a motor vehicle; and

Second Proposition: That the defendant was given a visual or audible signal by a police

officer directing the defendant to bring his vehicle to a stop; and

Third Proposition: That the police officer was in police uniform [and, if the officer was

driving a vehicle, that vehicle displayed illuminated, oscillating, rotating, or flashing red or blue

lights, which when used in conjunction with an audible horn or siren, would indicate the vehicle

to be an official police vehicle]; and

Fourth Proposition: That the defendant willfully fled or attempted to elude the police

officer; and

Fifth Proposition: That, when willfully fleeing or attempting to elude the police officer,

the defendant traveled at a rate of speed at least 21 miles per hour over the legal speed limit; and

Sixth Proposition: That, when willfully fleeing or attempting to elude the police officer,

the defendant caused damage in excess of $300 to property.

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.
