OUJI-CIV No. 32.3

CIVIL FORFEITURE - PRESUMPTION THAT MONEY IS SUBJECT TO

FORFEITURE

Presumptions are rules based upon experience or public policy and are established

in the law to assist a jury in discovering the truth. Presumptions take the place of

evidence unless and until outweighed by evidence to the contrary.

In this case, the law presumes that money found in close proximity to [Specify

Controlled Dangerous Substance in Schedules I through V of 63 O.S. Supp. 2015, § 2-

101 et seq.] was used/(intended to be used) to purchase the [Specify Controlled

Dangerous Substance in Schedules I through V of 63 O.S. Supp. 2015, § 2- 101 et seq.] in

violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act.

Chapter 32

If you find that the [Specify Property] was found in close proximity to [Specify

Controlled Dangerous Substance in Schedules I through V of 63 O.S. Supp. 2015, § 2-

101 et seq.], then the burden of proof is upon [Name of Defendant] to prove by the

greater weight of the evidence that the [Specify Property] was not used/(intended to be

used) to purchase the [Specify Controlled Dangerous Substance in Schedules I through V

of 63 O.S. Supp. 2015, § 2-101 et seq.] in violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous

Substances Act.
