11th Cir. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) O48
Killing or Attempting to Kill a Federal
Officer or Employee
18 U.S.C. § 1114
Note: If a Defendant is charged with murder, manslaughter, or
attempted murder of an officer or employee of the United
States in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1114, the appropriate murder,
manslaughter, or attempted murder instruction should be used,
but modified to additionally require the jury to find that the
victim was a federal officer or employee. The jurisdictional
element set out in those instructions isn’t necessary here.
