N.C.P.I.—Crim. 215.41
BURNING OF A [MOBILE HOME] [MANUFACTURED-TYPE HOUSE] [RECREATIONAL TRAILER HOME]. FELONY.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant burned a [mobile home] [manufactured-type house] [recreational trailer home].
Second, that the [mobile home] [manufactured-type house]
[recreational trailer home] was the dwelling house2 of another. (A
dwelling house is a house that is inhabited, that is, a house that is the
permanent, temporary, or seasonal residence of some person.)
Third, that the [mobile home] [manufactured-type house]
[recreational trailer home] was occupied3 at the time of the burning, that
is, that some person was physically present in the structure at the time
of the burning.
And Fourth, that the defendant did so willfully and maliciously, that
is, voluntarily without excuse or justification.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant willfully and maliciously burned a
[mobile home] [manufactured-type house] [recreational trailer home],
that the structure was the dwelling house of another, and that the
structure was occupied at the time of the burning, 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.
