[FAILING] [REFUSING] TO SURRENDER TO THE DIVISION OF MOTOR VEHICLES, UPON DEMAND, ANY [TITLE CERTIFICATE] [REGISTRATION CARD] [REGISTRATION NUMBER PLATE] WHICH HAS BEEN [SUSPENDED] [CANCELLED] [REVOKED]. INFRACTION.
The defendant has been charged with [failing] [refusing] to surrender
to the Division of Motor Vehicles, upon demand, a [title certificate]
[registration card] [registration number plate] for a vehicle which has been
[suspended [cancelled] [revoked].
For you to find the defendant responsible of this offense, the State
must prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [failed] [refused] to surrender to the Division
of Motor Vehicles a [title certificate] [registration card] [registration number
plate] for a vehicle after the Division of Motor Vehicles demanded 1 that the
defendant surrender said [title certificate] [registration card] [registration
number plate].
And Second, that said [title certificate] [registration card] [registration
number plate] had been [suspended] [cancelled] [revoked] by the Division
of Motor Vehicles.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [failed] [refused] to surrender to the
Division of Motor Vehicles a [title certificate] [registration card] [registration
number plate] after the Division of Motor Vehicles demanded that the
defendant surrender said [title certificate] [registration card] [registration
number plate] that had been [suspended] [cancelled] [revoked] by the
Division of Motor Vehicles, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
responsible. 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
responsible.
