Mont. Crim. Jury Instr. 7-109(a) (2022)
Issues in Escape
To convict the Defendant of the charge of escape, the State must prove the following elements:
1. That the Defendant [removed himself from official detention] [failed to return to official detention following a temporary leave granted for a specific purpose or limited time] [while participating in a county jail work program failed to appear for work at a time and place scheduled for participation in the program];
AND
2. That the Defendant acted purposely or knowingly.
If you find from your consideration of the evidence that all of these elements have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then you should find the Defendant guilty.
If, on the other hand, you find from your consideration of the evidence that any of these elements has not been proved beyond a reasonable doubt then you should find the Defendant not guilty.
