IDENTITY THEFT-TRAFFICKING IN STOLEN IDENTITIES. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with trafficking in stolen
identities.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [sold] [transferred] [purchased] identifying
information.1
Second, that the identifying information was that of a person other
than the defendant.
And Third, that the defendant intended to [commit identity theft]
[assist another person in committing identity theft]. Identity theft is
when a person knowingly obtains, possesses, or uses personal identifying
information of another person with the intent to fraudulently represent
that other person for the purpose of making financial or credit
transactions in that person’s name, obtaining anything of value, benefit,
or advantage, or for the purpose of avoiding legal consequences.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant [sold] [transferred] [purchased]
identifying information of a person other than the defendant, that is
(describe identifying information), with the intent to [commit identity
theft] [to assist another person in committing identity theft], 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.
