Evidence has been introduced tending to establish an alibi —

that the defendant was not present at the time when, or at the

place where, the defendant is alleged to have committed the

offense charged in the indictment.

The government has the burden of proving that the defendant

was present at that time and place. Unless the government proves

this beyond a reasonable doubt, you must ﬁnd the defendant not

guilty.
