For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove three things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that on or about the alleged date the defendant willfully (and
without justification or excuse) made a [rude] [riotous] noise3.
Second, that such [rude] [riotous] noise was made [in] [near]
(name building or facility), a public [building] [facility]4.
And Third, that such [rude] [riotous] noise was intentionally caused
by the defendant.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant willfully (without justification or
excuse) made a [rude] [riotous] noise, that such [rude] [riotous] noise
was made [in] [near] a public [building] [facility], and that such [rude]
[riotous] noise was intentionally caused by the defendant, 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.
