NOTE WELL: See G.S. 15A-928 for provisions regarding
indictment, bifurcated trial, verdict and judgment.
The defendant has been charged with [possessing] [selling]
adulterants intended to be used to adulterate a [urine] [bodily fluid] sample
for the purpose of defrauding a [drug] [alcohol] screening test.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [possessed] [sold] adulterants;
And Second, that the defendant intended that the adulterants be used
to adulterate a [urine] [bodily fluid] sample for the purpose of defrauding a
[drug] [alcohol] screening test.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant [possessed] [sold] adulterants and
that the defendant intended that the adulterants be used to adulterate a
[urine] [bodily fluid] sample for the purpose of defrauding a [drug] [alcohol]
screening test, 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.
