N.C.P.I.—Crim. 271.25
[RECEIVING] [TRANSFERRING] A STOLEN VEHICLE WITH INTENT TO [PROCURE] [PASS] TITLE TO THAT VEHICLE. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with [receiving] [transferring
possession of] a stolen vehicle with intent to [procure] [pass] title to that
vehicle.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove [three] [four] things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [received] [transferred possession of] a
vehicle.
Second, that the defendant intended to [procure] [pass] title to that
vehicle.
(And) Third, that the defendant knew or had reason to know that the
vehicle had been [stolen] [unlawfully taken].
(And Fourth, that at that time, the defendant was not an officer of the
law engaged in the performance of his duty.) 1
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant [received] [transferred possession of]
a vehicle with the intent to [procure] [pass] title to that vehicle, and that the
defendant knew or had reason to know that the vehicle had been [stolen]
[unlawfully taken] (and that at that time he was not an officer of the law
engaged in the performance of his duty),1 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.
