N.C.P.I.—Crim. 208.96B
EXTORTION BY ADULTERATION OR MISBRANDING OF FOOD, DRUGS, OR COSMETICS. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with extortion by threat of
[adulteration] [misbranding] of [food] [drugs] (or) [cosmetics].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant communicated to another that he:
[a. [adulterated] [misbranded] a [food] [drug] [cosmetic].]
[b. intended to [adulterate] [misbrand] a [food] [drug]
[cosmetic].]
Second, the defendant did this with the intent to obtain [something
of value] [an acquittance] [an advantage] [an immunity].
And Third, that in so doing the defendant intended to obtain
(describe object of threat) wrongfully, that is, knowing that he was not
entitled to obtain it in this manner.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant communicated to another that he:
[a. [adulterated] [misbranded]]
[b. intended to [adulterate] [misbrand]]
a [food] [drug] [cosmetic] with the intent to wrongfully obtain [something
of value] [an acquittance] [an advantage] [an immunity], it would be
your
duty to find the defendant guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty
to return a verdict of not guilty.
