N.C.P.I.—Crim. 215.85
MAKING A FALSE REPORT CONCERNING A DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE. (OTHER THAN PUBLIC BUILDING). FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with making a false report
concerning a destructive device.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant reported by any means of communication
to any [person] (or) [group of persons] that (describe device designed to
destroy or damage by explosion, blasting, or burning) was [located in]
[located in sufficient proximity to cause damage to] (describe place).
Second, that this report was false.
And Third, that the defendant knew or had reason to know that it
was false.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant falsely reported to another person
that (describe device designed to destroy or damage by explosion,
blasting, or burning) was [located in] [located in sufficient proximity to
cause damage to] (describe place) and that the defendant knew or had
reason to know that the report was false, 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.
