Mont. Crim. Jury Instr. 8-102(a) (2022)
Issues in Possession of Explosives
To convict the Defendant of the charge of possession of explosives, the State must prove the following elements:
1. That the Defendant [(possessed) (manufactured) (transported) (bought) (sold)] [(an explosive compound) (flammable material) (a timing, detonating or similar device for use with an explosive compound or incendiary device)];
AND
2. That the Defendant had the purpose to use such [(explosive) (material) (device)] to commit an offense;
OR
2. That the Defendant knew that another had the purpose to use such [(explosive) (material) (device)] to commit an offense.
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.
