N.C.P.I.—Crim. 216.70
FELONIOUS [ALTERING] [DESTROYING] [DISASSEMBLING] [DISMANTLING] [REASSEMBLING] [STORING] OF ANY [MOTOR VEHICLE] [MOTOR VEHICLE PART] ILLEGALLY OBTAINED BY [THEFT] [FRAUD] [OTHER ILLEGAL MEANS]. FELONY.
NOTE WELL. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-72.7(b) provides for innocent
activities to which the prohibition of this section does not apply.
The defendant has been charged with felonious [altering] [destroying]
[disassembling] [dismantling] [reassembling] [storing] of any [motor
vehicle] [motor vehicle part] illegally obtained by [theft] [fraud] [describe
other illegal means].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant knowingly [altered] [destroyed]
[disassembled] [dismantled] [reassembled] [stored] any [motor vehicle]
[motor vehicle part] illegally obtained by [theft] [fraud] [describe other
illegal means].
And Second, that the defendant [knew] [had reasonable grounds to
believe] that the [motor vehicle] [motor vehicle part] was illegally obtained
by [theft] [fraud] [describe other illegal means].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly [altered] [destroyed]
[disassembled] [dismantled] [reassembled] [stored] any [motor vehicle]
[motor vehicle part] illegally obtained by [theft] [fraud] [describe other
illegal means] and the defendant [knew] [had reasonable grounds to
believe] that the [motor vehicle] [motor vehicle part] had been illegally
obtained by [theft] [fraud] [describe other illegal means], 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.
