The defendant has been charged with making a violent attack upon the
[residence] [office] (temporary accommodation] [means of transport] of
a(n) [legislative] [executive) [court] officer.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant intentionally 1 (and without justification or
excuse) 2 made a violent attack upon the [residence] [office] [temporary
accommodation] [means of transport] of the victim. A violent attack is the
use of extreme force with the intent to inflict harm or destruction.
Second, that the victim was a(n) [legislative] 3 [executive] 4 [court]5
officer. (Name victim's title) is a [legislative] [executive) [court] officer.
Third, that defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to know that
(name residence, office, temporary accommodation, or means of transport)
was the [residence] [office] [temporary accommodation] [means of
transport] of a(n) [legislative] [executive] [court] officer. 6
And Fourth, that such violent attack was made in a manner likely to
endanger the victim.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant intentionally made a violent attack on
(name residence, office, temporary accommodation, or means of transport),
and that (name residence, office, temporary accommodation, or means of
transport) was the [residence] [office] [temporary accommodation] [means
of transport] of (name victim), that (name victim) was a(n) [legislative]
[executive] [court] officer, that the defendant knew or had reasonable
grounds to know that (name residence, office, temporary accommodation, or
means of transport) was the [residence] [office] [temporary
accommodation] [means of transport] of a(n) [legislative] [executive]
[court] officer, and that the attack was made in a manner likely to endanger
the victim, (nothing else appearing) 7 it would be your duty to return a
verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one
or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
guilty.
