MAKING A MATERIALLY [FALSE] [MISLEADING] STATEMENT ABOUT A [SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT SERVICE] [RECOVERY RESIDENCE] IN MARKETING MATERIALS WITH THE INTENT TO DEFRAUD. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with making a materially [false]
[misleading] statement about a [substance use disorder treatment service]
[recovery residence] in marketing materials with the intent to defraud.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant was a [treatment provider]1 [treatment
facility]2 [recovery residence]3 [[third party providing services to any
[treatment provider] [treatment facility] [recovery residence]].
Second, that the defendant knowingly4 [made a materially [false]
[misleading] statement] [provided [false] [misleading] information].
And Third, that the defendant did so with the intent5 to defraud any
person about the [[nature] [identity] [location]] [[of substance use disorder
treatment services] [in a recovery residence] [in advertising materials] [on a
call line] [on an internet website] [in any other marketing materials]].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant was a [treatment provider] [treatment
facility] [recovery residence] [[third party providing services to any
[treatment provider] [treatment facility] [recovery residence]] and knowingly
[made a materially [false] [misleading] statement] [provided [false]
[misleading] information] with the intent to defraud any person about the
[[nature] [identity] [location]] [[of substance use disorder treatment services]
[in a recovery residence] [in advertising materials] [on a call line] [on an
internet website] [in any other marketing materials]] (nothing else
appearing),6 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.
