N.C.P.I.—Crim. 222.43
[AIDING] [HIRING] [COUNSELING] AN INDIVIDUAL TO [CUT] [INJURE] [REMOVE] ANOTHER’S TIMBER.
The defendant has been charged with [aiding] [hiring] [counseling] an
individual to [cut] [injure] [remove] another’s timber. 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 knowingly and willfully [aided] [hired]
[counseled] an individual to [cut down] [injure] [remove] any timber.
Second, that the defendant did so [[without the consent of [the owner
of the land] [the owner of the timber]] [[without a lawful easement running
with the land]].
And Third, that the timber was owned by another person 2.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly and willfully [aided] [hired]
[counseled] an individual to [cut down] [injure] [remove] any timber owned
by another person [[without the consent of [the owner of the land] [the owner
of the timber]] [[without a lawful easement running with the land]], it would
be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do not so find or if you have
a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty
to return a verdict of not guilty.
