N.C.P.I.—Crim. 230.93
CONCEALMENT OF DEATH-AIDING, COUNSELING, AND ABETTING. MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with [aiding] [counseling]
[abetting] another person to conceal the death of a person.
For you to find defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the crime to conceal a death was committed by some
other person(s). (Refer here to prior charge on elements of the crime as
they relate to this case or, if there has been no such prior charge, include
one here)1;
Second, that the defendant knowingly [advised] [instigated]
[encouraged] [procured] [aided] [counseled] the other person(s) to
commit the crime;
And Third, that the defendant’s actions or statements caused or
contributed to the commission of the crime by that other person.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the crime of concealing a death was committed by
some other person(s), the defendant knowingly [advised] [instigated]
[encouraged] [procured] [aided] [counseled] the other person(s) to
commit the crime to conceal a death, and that the defendant’s actions or
statements caused or contributed to the commission of the crime by that
other person, 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,
then it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
