N.C.P.I.—Crim. 216.73
FELONIOUS [PURCHASING] [DISPOSING OF] [SELLING] [TRANSFERRING] [RECEIVING] [POSSESSING] A [MOTOR VEHICLE] [MOTOR VEHICLE PART] FROM A PERSON ENGAGED IN CHOP SHOP ACTIVITY. 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 [purchasing]
[disposing of] [selling] [transferring] [receiving] [possessing] a [motor
vehicle] [motor vehicle part] from a person engaged in (describe chop shop
activity).
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [purchased] [disposed of] [sold] [transferred]
[received] [possessed] a [motor vehicle] [motor vehicle part] from a person
engaged in (describe chop shop activity).
And Second, that the defendant [knew] [had reasonable grounds to
believe] the person was engaged in (describe chop shop activity).
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly [purchased] [disposed of]
[sold] [transferred] [received] [possessed] a [motor vehicle] [motor vehicle
part] from a person engaged in (describe chop shop activity) and that the
defendant [knew] [had reasonable grounds to believe] the person was
engaged in (describe chop shop activity), 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 both of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not
guilty.
