N.C.P.I.—Crim. 222.44
TRANSPORTING FOREST PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN [CUT] [REMOVED] [OBTAINED] [ACQUIRED] FROM ANOTHER’S PROPERTY WITHOUT CONSENT. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with transporting forest products that
have been [cut] [removed] [obtained] [acquired] from another’s property
without consent.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant knowingly and willfully transported forest
products that have been [cut down] [removed] [obtained] [acquired] from the
property of a landowner.
And 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]].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant knowingly and willfully transported
forest products that have been [cut down] [removed] [obtained] [acquired]
from the property of a landowner [[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 both of these things, it would
be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
