N.C.P.I.—Crim. 208.81G
ASSAULT ON [[LAW ENFORCEMENT] [PROBATION] [PAROLE] OFFICER] [PERSON EMPLOYED AT A [STATE] [LOCAL] DETENTION FACILITY]. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with assault on a [[law
enforcement] [probation] [parole] officer] [person employed at a [state]
[local] detention facility].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the victim was a [[law enforcement] [probation] [parole]
officer] [person employed at a [state] [local] detention facility].
Second, that the defendant assaulted the [[law enforcement]
[probation] [parole] officer] [person employed at a [state] [local]
detention facility operated under the jurisdiction of the State or a local
government] by (describe assault).
Third, that the defendant
a) [did so while the [[law enforcement] [probation] [parole]
officer] was [discharging] [attempting to discharge] [his]
[her] official duties]. (Describe duties, e.g., making an
arrest is a duty).
b) [did so while the [person employed at a [state] [local]
detention facility] was in the performance of the
employee’s duties]. (Describe duties, e.g., supervision of
inmates is a duty).
And Fourth, that the defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to
know that the victim was a [[law enforcement] [probation] [parole]
officer] [person employed at a [state] [local] detention facility].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the victim was a [[law enforcement] [probation]
[parole] officer] [person employed at a [state] [local] detention facility],
that the defendant assaulted the [[law enforcement] [probation] [parole]
officer] [person employed at a [state] [local] detention facility] operated
under the jurisdiction of the State or a local government], that the
defendant [did so while the [[law enforcement] [probation] [parole]
officer] was [discharging] [attempting to discharge] [his] [her] official
duties] [did so while the [person employed at a [state] [local] detention
facility] was in the performance of the employee’s duties], and that the
defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to know that the victim was a
[[law enforcement] [probation] [parole] officer] [person employed at a
[state] [local] detention facility], 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, then it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
guilty.
