3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 3.09
Venue
The indictment alleges that some act in furtherance of the offense charged
occurred here in (name of venue). There is no requirement that (all aspects of the
offense charged) (the entire conspiracy) take place here in (name of venue). But for
you to return a guilty verdict, the government must convince you that (some act in
furtherance of the crime charged) (either the agreement, or one of the overt acts), took
place here in (name of venue).
Unlike all the elements that I have described, this fact only has to be proved
by a preponderance of the evidence. This means the government only has to
convince you that it is more likely than not that (some act in furtherance of the crime
charged)(part of the conspiracy) took place here.
Remember that the government must prove all the elements I have described
beyond a reasonable doubt.
