Highlight

The purpose of jury instructions is to correctly and adequately advise the jury of the applicable law. Jury instruction must not be misleading or confusing. A conviction will be reversed based on an erroneous jury instruction only if it relates to a central subject in the case and affects a defendant’s substantial rights.

When a defendant faces multiple counts of the same offense, the jury instructions must identify the act underlying each count and factually distinguish between the counts or instruct the jury to unanimously agree on the act for each offense.

The elements of a crime may require different mental states. The term “willfully,” as defined by N.D.C.C. § 12.1-02-02(1)(e), is not necessarily inconsistent with a crime requiring a specific intent.
