[obtaining] [disclosing] [disseminating] prescription information for an
unauthorized purpose with an intent to [use information for commercial
advantage] [use information for personal gain] (or to) [maliciously harm
another person], the State must prove three things beyond a reasonable
doubt.
First, that the defendant was authorized to access data in the
controlled substances reporting system.1
Second, that the defendant willfully and maliciously [obtained]
[disclosed] [disseminated] prescription information for an unauthorized
purpose.2 (Describe activity) would be an unauthorized purpose.
And Third, that the defendant intended to use such information [for
commercial advantage] [for a personal gain] (or to) [to maliciously harm

If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant was authorized to access the data
in the controlled substances reporting system, and that the defendant
willfully and maliciously [obtained] [disclosed] [disseminated]
prescription information for an unauthorized purpose with the intent to
use such information [for commercial advantage] [for personal gain] [to
maliciously harm another person], 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.
