N.C.P.I.—Crim. 104.13
TRANSFERRED INTENT.
If the defendant intended to harm one person but instead harmed a
different person, the legal effect would be the same as if the defendant
had harmed the intended victim.1
(If a killing of the intended person would be with malice, then the
killing of the different person would also be with malice.)
