N.C.P.I.—Crim. 222.41
SETTING FIRE TO [GRASSLAND] [BRUSHLAND] [WOODLAND] WITH INTENT TO DAMAGE THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with setting fire to [grassland]
[brushland] [woodland] with intent to damage the property of another.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant intentionally set fire to (describe
property).
Second, that the property was [grassland] [brushland] [woodland].1
Third, that this property was the property of another.
And Fourth, that the defendant intended to damage the property of
another.2
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant intentionally set fire to (describe
property), which was [grassland] [brushland] [woodland] of another, and
that the defendant intended to damage the property of another, 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.3
