N.C.P.I.—Crim. 219B.25
CREDIT CARD (FINANCIAL TRANSACTION CARD) THEFT-BUYING A CREDIT CARD. FELONY.
NOTE WELL: The contradiction in terms making the
unlawful selling or buying the credit card a "theft" is as
the statute dictates.
The defendant has been charged with credit card theft by unlawfully
buying a credit card.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant bought a (describe credit card)2 from
another.
And Second, that the defendant bought the card from a person
other than the [issuer] [authorized agent of the credit card issuer].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant bought a credit card from a person
other than the issuer or its authorized agent, 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.
