N.C.P.I.—Crim. 221.10
FORGERY OF NOTES, CHECKS, AND OTHER SECURITIES. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with forgery of a(n) (name
instrument)1.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [manufactured] [copied] [reproduced]
[forged] a(n) (name instrument) that purports to be genuine.
(When one is found in the possession of a forged instrument and is
endeavoring to obtain money or advances upon it, you may infer that
he/she either forged or consented to the forging of such instrument, but
you are not compelled to do so. You may consider this together with all
the other evidence.2)
Second, that the insturment was not genuine because it had been
falsely [copied] [reproduced] [forged] [manufactured] [embossed]
[encoded] [duplicated] [altered].
And Third, that the defendant intended to [injure] [defraud] any
[person] [financial institution3] [governmental unit4].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant, [manufactured] [copied]
[reproduced] [forged] a(n) (name instrument) that purports to be genuine
but was not because it had been falsely [copied] [reproduced] [forged]
[manufactured] [embossed] [encoded] [duplicated] [altered] and that the
defendant intended to [injure] [defraud] any [person] [financial
institution] [governmental unit], 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.
