Description

This form contains sample jury instructions, to be used across the United States. These questions are to be used only as a model, and should be altered to more perfectly fit your own cause of action needs. Orange County Superior Court provides jury instructions for various criminal offenses, including bank robbery. In specific cases, the jury may have to consider different subsections of the bank robbery statute, such as (a) and (d), which may be alleged in separate counts. Subsection (a) of the bank robbery statute refers to the act of taking, attempting to take, or robbing a bank by force, violence, or intimidation. This instruction focuses on the physical act of taking money or property directly from a bank, often involving a threat or use of force. On the other hand, subsection (d) of the bank robbery statute deals with aiding or abetting the commission of a bank robbery. This means that the accused person may not have directly participated in the robbery but assisted or encouraged others in committing the offense. In such cases, the jury must consider whether the defendant knowingly and intentionally aided, counseled, or encouraged the actual robber. When these subsections are alleged in separate counts, it means that the prosecution has charged the defendant with both a direct bank robbery under subsection (a) and aiding or abetting a bank robbery under subsection (d). This distinction is necessary to ensure that the jury evaluates each count independently and determines guilt or innocence accordingly. Jury instruction regarding subsection (a) focuses on the accused person's direct involvement in physically robbing the bank, considering elements like force, violence, or intimidation used during the act. On the other hand, jury instruction for subsection (d) concentrates on assessing the defendant's knowledge and intent to assist or encourage the bank robbery, rather than being present during the crime. Different types of Orange County California Jury Instruction — Bank Robber— - Subsections (a) and (d) alleged in separate counts may include variations in terms of the specific acts, evidence required, or defenses applicable to each count. It is crucial for the jury to carefully consider the evidence presented in each count individually and deliberate separately on the guilt or innocence of the accused person with regard to each subsection. Understanding the distinction between subsections (a) and (d) is essential for a fair trial and ensuring that the defendant's rights are protected. By providing specific instructions for each count, the jury can appropriately assess the evidence and determine the defendant's culpability based on the specific elements required for each subsection.
