N.C.P.I.—Crim. 104.35
FLIGHT - IN GENERAL.
The State contends (and the defendant denies) that the defendant
fled. Evidence of flight may be considered by you together with all other
facts and circumstances in this case in determining whether the combined
circumstances amount to an admission or show a consciousness of guilt.2
However, proof of this circumstance is not sufficient, in itself, to
establish defendant's guilt.3
