N.C.P.I.—Crim. 220.44
MAKING A MATERIALLY [FALSE] [MISLEADING] STATEMENT ABOUT SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER TREATMENT SERVICES WITH THE INTENT TO DEFRAUD. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with making a materially [false]
[misleading] statement about substance use disorder treatment services with
the intent to defraud.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant knowingly1 made a materially [false]
[misleading] statement about substance use disorder treatment services.
And Second, that the defendant did so with the intent2 to defraud
another person.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly made a materially [false]
[misleading] statement about substance use disorder treatment services with
the intent to defraud another person (nothing else appearing),3 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.
