3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 3.08
On or About
You will note that the indictment charges that the offense was committed "on
or about" a certain date. The Government does not have to prove with certainty the
exact date of the alleged offense. It is sufficient if the Government proves beyond a
reasonable doubt that the offense was committed on a date reasonably near the date
alleged.
