Va. Model Jury Instr. Crim. No. 47.100(c)

The defendant is charged with the crime of robbery using physical force not resulting in serious

bodily injury, or robbery by using or displaying a deadly weapon other than a firearm in a

threatening manner. The Commonwealth must prove beyond a reasonable doubt each of the

following elements of that crime:

(1) That the defendant intended to steal; and

(2) That the defendant took (describe personal property); and

(3) That the taking was from (name of person) or in his presence; and

(4) That the taking was against the will of the owner or possessor; and

(5) That the taking was accomplished by [violence to the person; intimidation of the person; the threat

of serious bodily harm]; and

(6) That the robbery was committed [using physical force not resulting in serious bodily injury; using

or displaying a deadly weapon other than a firearm in a threatening manner].

If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt

each of the above elements of the crime as charged, then you shall find the defendant guilty of

robbery [by using physical force not resulting in serious bodily injury; using or displaying a deadly

weapon other than a firearm in a threatening manner] [but you shall not fix the punishment until your

verdict has been returned and further evidence has been heard by you].

If you find from the evidence that the Commonwealth has proved beyond a reasonable doubt

elements (1) through (5) of the crime but not element (6), then you shall find the defendant guilty

of simple robbery [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 any one or

more of the elements (1) through (5) of the crime, then you shall find the defendant not guilty.
