Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 22.275
Methamphetamine—Manufacturing, Selling, Giving, Distributing, Possessing with Intent—227 Grams or More—§ 18.2-248.03(B)
The defendant is charged with the crime of [manufacturing; selling, giving, or distributing;
possessing with intent to manufacture, sell, give, or distribute] methamphetamine. The
Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant [manufactured; sold,
gave, or distributed; possessed with intent to manufacture, sell, give, or distribute] 227 grams or more
of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, its salts, isomers,
or salts of its isomers.
If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt
the crime as charged, then you shall find the defendant guilty [but you shall not fix the punishment
until your verdict has been returned and further evidence has been heard by you].
If you find that the Commonwealth has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the
defendant [manufactured; sold, gave, or distributed; possessed with intent to manufacture, sell, give, or
distribute] 227 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of
methamphetamine, its salts, isomers, or salts of its isomers, then you shall find the defendant not
guilty.
