manner; and

b. This negligence caused the death of another; and

c. (DEFENDANT'S NAME):

i. [Had sufficient alcohol in [his] [her] body that a

subsequent chemical test showed that [he] [she] had a blood or breath alcohol

concentration of .05 grams or greater at the time of the test;]

ii. [Was under the influence of [alcohol] [a drug] [the combined

influence of alcohol and a drug] to a degree that rendered [him] [her]

incapable of safely operating a vehicle;] or

iii. [Had a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .05 grams or

greater at the time of operation;]]

in a criminally negligent manner; and

After you carefully consider all the evidence in this case,

if you are convinced that each and every element has been proven beyond a

reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant GUILTY. On the other hand,

if you are not convinced that each and every element has been proven beyond a

reasonable doubt, then you must find the defendant NOT GUILTY.
