The defendant has been charged with harassing a participant in a
neighborhood crime watch program.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove four things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant willfully [threatened] [intimidated]
another person.
Second, that the person [threatened] [intimidated] was [an
identifiable member of a neighborhood crime watch program] [a resident
in the same household as the member of a neighborhood crime watch
program].
And Third, that the defendant [threatened] [intimidated] the person
for the purpose of [intimidating] [retaliating] against that person for the
person's participation in a neighborhood crime watch program.
And Fourth, that at the time the person was [threatened]
[intimidated] the person was [traveling to or from a neighborhood crime
watch meeting] [actively participating in a neighborhood crime watch
program activity] [actively participating in an ongoing criminal
investigation].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant willfully [threatened] [intimidated]
another person, that the other person was [an identifiable member of a
neighborhood crime watch program] [a resident in the same household as
a member of a neighborhood crime watch program], that the defendant
threatened this person for the purpose of [intimidating] [retaliating]
against that person for the person's participation in a neighborhood crime
watch program, and that at the time the person was [threatened]
[intimidated] the person was [traveling to or from a neighborhood crime
watch meeting] [actively participating in a neighborhood crime watch
program activity][actively participating in an ongoing criminal
investigation], 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.
