N.C.P.I.—Crim. 219.10

NOTE WELL: For offenses occurring on or after

December 1, 1997, if the value of the property obtained

is $100,000 or more, use N.C.P.I.—Crim. 219.10A.

The defendant has been charged with obtaining property by false

pretenses. For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State

must prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the defendant made a representation2 to another.

Second, that this representation was false.

Third, that this representation was calculated and intended to

deceive.3

Fourth, that the alleged victim was in fact deceived by this

representation.

And Fifth, that the defendant thereby [obtained] [attempted to

obtain] property from the alleged victim.4

NOTE WELL: In appropriate cases, instruct the jury as

follows: “The State is not required to establish that all

of the acts constituting the crime occurred in this State

or within a single city, county, or local jurisdiction of

this State, and it is no defense that not all of the acts

constituting the crime occurred in this State or within a

single city, county, or local jurisdiction of this State.”

N.C.G.S.14-100 (b1).

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or

about the alleged date, the defendant made a representation and that

this representation was false, that this representation was calculated and

intended to deceive, that the alleged victim was in fact deceived by it,

and that the defendant thereby [obtained] [attempted to obtain] property

from the alleged victim, 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.
