Definitions are found in OUJI-CR 4-40D, infra.

Committee Comments

The first element, that the defendant was a person responsible for the child's health, safety, or welfare, is an essential element of the crime of child abuse,. Cox v. State, 2006 OK CR 51, ¶ 24, 152 P.3d 244, 253.

Section 7415 848.5 was designed to protect a designated group of persons, children under the age of 18. Therefore, the age of the child is an element to be proved by the State1. Holder v. State, 1976 OK CR 288, 556 P.2d 1049.

The statute requires proof of a mental state of maliciousness or willfulness on the part of the defendant while in the performance of the proscribed conduct. Generally, however, intentional infliction of severe injuries upon a child will be sufficient to establish a prima facie case, reserving the issue of the sufficiency of the proof regarding the defendant's mental state to the jury. Smith v. State, 1979 OK CR 30, 594 P.2d 784.

In Fairchild v. State, 1999 OK CR 49, ¶ 51, 998 P.2d 611, 622-23, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided that the mens rea for felony murder of a child under 21 0.8. Supp.1999, § 701.7(C) was a general intent to commit the act which causes the injury, rather than a specific intent, and that the general intent was included within the terms "willfully" or "maliciously."

OUJI-CR 4-35A

CHILD ABUSE (INJURE, TORTURE, MAIM)-ELEMENTS

No person may be convicted of child abuse unless the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime. These elements are:

First, a person willfully/maliciously;

[Second, injured/tortured/maimed;

Third, a child under the age of eighteen.]

Statutory Authority: 21 0.8.2011, § 848.5(A).

Notes on Use

This Instruction should be used if the defendant is charged with child abuse that involves injuring, torturing, or maiming a child, and OUJI-CR 4-85, supra, should be used for other types of child abuse. OUJI-CR 4-86 should be used if the defendant is charged with enabling abuse of a child. OUJI-CR 4-37 should be used if the defendant is charged with child neglect, OUJI-CR 4-89 should be used if the defendant is charged with child sexual abuse, and OUJI-CR 4-41 should be used if the defendant is charged with child sexual exploitation.

Committee Comments

Section 848.5 was designed to protect a designated group of persons, children under the age of 18. Therefore, the age of the child is an element to be proved by the State. Holder v. State, 1976 OK CR 288, 556 P.2d 1049. No special relationship is required under section 848.5(A) for persons who injure, torture, or maim a child.

The statute requires proof of a mental state of maliciousness or willfulness on the part of the defendant while in the performance of the proscribed conduct. Generally, however, intentional infliction of severe injuries upon a child will be sufficient to establish a prima facie case, reserving the issue of the sufficiency of the proof regarding the defendant's mental state to the jury. Smith v. State, 1979 OK CR 30, 594 P.2d 784.

In Fairchild v. State, 1999 OK CR 49, ¶ 51, 998 P.2d 611, 622-28, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided that the mens rea for felony murder of a child under 21 0.8. Supp.1999, § 701.7(C) was a general intent to commit the act which causes the injury, rather than a specific intent, and that the general intent was included within the terms "willfully" or "maliciously."

CHILD ABUSE-USE OF ORDINARY FORCE BY PARENT FOR DISCIPLINE

It is not child abuse for a parent to use ordinary force to discipline a child, including, but not limited to, spanking, switching, or paddling.

Statutory Authority: 10A 00.98.2011, § 1-1-105(2).

OUJI-CR 4-35C

CHILD ABUSE/NEGLECT-AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE-USE OF PRAYER FOR TREATMENT OF CHILD

Evidence has been introduced in this case that the defendant, in good faith, selected and depended upon spiritual means alone through prayer, and according to the tenets and practice of a recognized church/(religious denomination), for the treatment/cure of a disease)/(remedial care) of a child.

It is the burden of the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not, in good faith, select and depend upon spiritual means alone through prayer, and according to the tenets and practice of a recognized - church/(religious - denomination), for the treatment/cure of a disease)/(remedial care) of the child. If you find that the State has failed to sustain that burden, then the defendant must be found not guilty.

Statutory Authority: 10A 0.98.2011, § 1-1-105(46).

Notes on Use

The affirmative defense of the use of prayer for the treatment of a child is found in 10A 0.8.2011, § 1-1-105(46) and applies to child abuse and neglect. Similar affirmative defenses are found in 21 0.98.2011, § 852(C), which applies to the crime of omission to provide for a child, and in 21 0.9.2011, § 852.1(B), which applies to child endangerment. This affirmative defense should be modified appropriately for omission to provide for a child or for child endangerment, because the requirements for the affirmative defenses for these other crimes differ from the requirements for this affirmative defense.

OUJI-CR 4-36

ENABLING CHILD ABUSE-ELEMENTS

No person may be convicted of enabling the abuse of a child unless the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime. These elements are:

[First, a person _ willfully/maliciously

Second, _ a _ willful/malicious harm/(threatened harm); act of

Third, to the health, safety, or welfare;

Fourth, of a child under the age of cighteen;

Third, a _ willful/malicious harm/(threatened harm); act - of

Fourth, to the health/safety health, safety, or welfare;

Fifth, of a child under the age of eighteen;

Sixth, by a person responsible for the child's health, safety, or welfare.]

Harm/(Threatened harm) includes, but is not limited to (select from the following): (nonaccidental physical/mental injury), sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, neglect, failure/omission to provide protection from harm/(threatened harm).

["Permitted" means authorized or allowed for the care of the child by an individual when the person authorizing or allowing such care knew or reasonably should have known that the child would be placed at risk of abuse.].

Statutory Authority: 10 O.S. Supp.2000, §§ 7115(B), 7102(B)(1), (2) 21 O.S.2011, § 843.5(B), 10A O.S.2011, § 1-1-105(2).

Notes on Use

The bracketed definition of "permitted" should be given only if applicable. A definition of "procured" is found in OUJI-CR 4-40D, infra.

Committee Comments

What distinguishes the crime of child abuse from the crime of enabling child abuse under 21 0.98.2011, § 848.5(B) is that enabling child abuse involves the "causing, procuring or permitting" of child abuse, as defined in 10 ©.S.-Supp.:2000-§-HO2(B) 10A 00.98.2011, § 1-1-105(2). A person who caused or procured child abuse would be guilty of child abuse as a principal. See OUJI-CR 2-5, supra. However, a person who permitted child abuse would not necessarily be guilty of child abuse. In order to be guilty of enabling child abuse by permitting it under 21 ©.S.2011, § 848.5(B), a person must 1) authorize or allow for the child's care, and 2) know or reasonably should know that the child is being placed at risk of abuse. Under 21 0.8.2011, $ 848.5(B), enabling child abuse is limited to causing, procuring or permitting of a willful or malicious act of child abuse, as defined by paragraph 2 of Section 1-1-105 of Title 10A of the Oklahoma Statutes, and § 848.5(B) does not include causing, procuring or permitting the willful or malicious injury, torture or maiming of a child.

In Fairchild v. State, 1999 OK CR 49, ¶ 51, 998 P.2d 611, 622-23, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided that the mens rea for felony murder of a child under 21 0.S. Supp.1999, § 701.7(C) was a general intent to commit the act which causes the injury, rather than a specific intent, and that the general intent was included within the terms "willfully" or "maliciously."

Committee Comments

The Committee believes some restriction on the seope of child neglect under 10-0.§; §upp.2000,-§§-7115(C),-7102(B)(3) 21 0.8. 2011, § 843.5(C) and 10A O.S.2011 § 1-1-105(46) is necessary because otherwise a person would be in violation of the statute for failing to provide food or shelter to a child that the person had never met. The Legislature has declared that "it is the policy of this state to provide for the protection of children who have been abused or neglected ... by the conduct of persons responsible f01 the care-and-protection health safety, and welfare of such children." _ 10-0.8.-S2pp.2000,-§-7102(A)(1L) 10A O0.8.2011, § 1-1-102(A)8). Accordingly, the Committee has decided that the seope of child neglect should be restricted to persons responsible for the child's health or safety, as defined in 10-Q.S: §upp:2000,-§-T102(B)(5) 10A 0.8.2011, § 1-1-105(50). These persons include the child's parent or guardian, as well as other persons who are responsible for the child's safety, either in the child's home, a relative's home, a foster care home, child care facility, or a residential institution.

The erime of omission to provide for a child is governed by 21 0.8.2011, § 852(A). See OUJI-CR 4-404, infra. Its elements are similar to the elements for child neglect, but in contrast to child neglect, omission to provide for a child is a misdemeanor. Unlike child neglect, omission to provide for a child includes willful omission to furnish monetary child support or the payment of court-ordered day care or medical insurance costs.

In Fairchild v. State, 1999 OK CR 49, ¶ 51, 998 P.2d 611, 622-23, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided that the mens rea for felony murder of a child under 21 0.8. Supp.1999, § T701.7(C) was a general intent to commit the act which causes the injury, rather than a specific intent, and that the general intent was included within the terms "willfully" or "maliciously."

Notes on Use

The trial court should give a separate instruction on the elements of the particular sexual abuse or sexual explmtatlon that has been alleged.

OUJI-CR 4-85 should be used if the defendant is charged with child abuse.

Committee Comments |

The Fifth First Element in OUJI-CR 4-39 is included because of the limitation of the definition of sexual abuse in 10-Q.§; §S4upp.2000,-§-7102(B)(6)-and-(7) 10A 0.8. 2011, § 1-1-105(2)(b) and (c) to "a person person responsible for the child's health or; safety, or welfare."

(emphasis added).

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals directed the use of a differently worded instruction for cases under 10 0.8. Supp.1995, § 7115 in Huskey v. State, 1999 OK CR 3, ¶ 12, 989 P.2d 1, 7. The above instruction places the holding in Huskey in the format of the other instructions on child abuse and neglect. In 111 of the Huskey opinion, the Court applied the definitions of sexual abuse and sexual exploitation set out in 10 O.S. Supp.1998, § 7102(B)(6) and (7). These definitions include the restriction that the sexual abuse or sexual exploitation must be "by a person responsible for a child's health or safety."

In Fairchild v. State, 1999 OK CR 49, ¶ 51, 998 P.2d 611, 622-23, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided that the mens rea for felony murder of a child under 21 0.8. Supp.1999, § 701.7(C) was a general intent to commit the act which causes the injury, rather than a specific intent, and that the general intent was included within the terms "willfully" or "maliciously."

Notes on Use

Section 852(C) provides for an affirmative defense if the defendant depends on spiritual means and prayer for care for a child. If evidence is introduced to support this defense, the court should modify the affirmative defense in OUJI-CR 4-350 appropriately, because the requirements for the analogous affirmative defenses for child abuse and neglect differ from some of the requirements for the affirmative defense with respect to the omission to provide for a child.

CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN-DEFINITIONS

Abandonment of a child-A willful refusal or failure to adequately provide for a child, and not a mere failure on account of inability.

Committee Comments

A different definition of abandonment is found in the Oklahoma Children's Code at 10A 0.8.2011, § 1-1-105(1). The above definition is more appropriate for the criminal context than the definition in the Oklahoma Children's Code, which applies to termination of parental rights.

Child-Any person under eighteen years of age.

Committee Comments

Although 10A 0.8.2011, § 1-1-105(7) defines a child as an unmarried person under the age of 18, the Committee has concluded this definition should not be applied to limit the scope of 21 0.8.2011, § 843.5 to unmarried persons because the plain language of section 848.5 specifies that it applies to a child under the age of eighteen without any limitation that the child must be unmarried.

Committee Comments

The definition of "abuse" in 10A O.8. 2011, § 1-1-105(2) states that it involves harm or threatened harm to the health, safety, or welfare of a child, and then the statute defines "harm or threatened harm to the health or safety of a child."

Committee Comments

Unlike other definitions of "willful" in these Uniform Jury Instructions, the definition of "willful" in OUJI-CR 4-40D deletes the phrase "or to injure another" in 21 O.S. 1991 2011, $ 92. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided in Hockersmith v. State, 1996 OK CR 51, ¶ 12, 926 P.2d 793, 795, and Bannister v. State, 1996 OK CR 60, ¶¶ 5-6, 930 P.2d 1176, 1178, that the definition of "willful" in the context of a prosecution for the felony murder of a child under 21 0.S. Supp.1999, § 701.7(C), should not have eliminated the requirement of an intent to injure. The above definition of "willful" conforms to the Hockersmith and Banmister cases. In Fairchild v.

1. The defendant, prior to this sentencing proceeding, was convicted of a felony involving the use or threat of violence to the person;
2. During the commission of the murder, the defendant knowingly created a great risk of death to more than one person;
3. The person committed the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration or employed another to commit the murder for remuneration or the promise of remuneration;
4, The murder was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel;
5. The murder was committed for the purpose of avoiding or preventing a lawful arrest or prosecution;
6. The murder was committed by a person while serving a sentence of imprisonment on conviction of a felony;
7. The victim of the murder was a peace officer or guard correctional employee of an institution under the control of the department-of-eorreetions Department of Corrections, and such person was killed in performance of official duty; or
8. At the present time there exists a probability that the defendant will commit criminal acts of violence that would constitute a continuing threat to society.

In order to warrant a finding of any aggravating circumstance or circumstances upon circumstantial evidence, each fact necessary to prove the existence of the circumstance must be established by the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Notes on Use

This instruction may be given when the prosecution relies on circumstantial evidence for proof of an aggravating cireum-stance. The trial judge shall give OUJI-CR 9-2 through 9-4 along with this instruction.

Committee Comments

This instruction is adapted from former OUJI-CR 804 (currently OUJI-CR 9-5), which was written for cases where cireum-stantial evidence is used to establish the defendant's guilt. In Snow v. State, 1994 OK CR 39, ¶ 33, 876 P.2d 201, 299, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals found that when cireumstantial evidence is used to support an aggravating ciream-stance, the cireumstantial evidence must rule out all other reasonable hypotheses. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has summarized the rules concerning the giving of former OUJI-CR 804 as follows:

[Olne, it is error for the trial court not to instruct the jury, even though no request is made, when all the evidence relied upon is cireumstantial; two, when the evidence is both direct and cireum-stantial, it is not error to fail to give an instruction when none is requested; and three, the failure to give an instruction where all of the evidence is cireumstan-tial and no request is made, is not reversible error unless the evidence against the defendant is inherently weak or improbable.

Grimmett v. State, 1977 OK CR 320, ¶ 5, 572 P.2d 272, 274.

In Lay v. State, 2008 OK CR 7, 179 P.3d 615, the trial court modified this instruction by eliminating the reasonable hypothesis test in its third and fourth sentences in order to conform to Easlick v. State, 2004 OK CR 21, ¶ 15, 90 P.3d 556, 559. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals stated in Lay, however, that the reasonable hypothesis test was still the required jury instruction for aggravating circumstances proven, entirely or in part, by circumstantial evidence. Nevertheless, the Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the death sentence, because the defendant had failed to object at trial and consequently, the error had been waived. 2008 OK CR 7 at ¶ 29, 179 P.3d at 623. Accordingly, this instruction should continue to be used for the second stage of death penalty cases. In Harmon v. State, 2011 OK CR 6, ¶ 57, 248 P.3d 918, 938, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals held that the reasoning of Easlick v. State, 2004 OK CR 21, ¶ 15, 90 P.3d 556, 557, applied to both the first and second stage instructions, and that the reasonable hypothesis test should be removed from OUJI-CR 4-77.

MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE BY FELONY MURDER—

IN THE COMMISSION OF DEFINED

A person is in the commission of [Specify Underlying Felony] when he/she is performing an act which is an inseparable part of [Specify Underlying Felony], or which is necessary in order to complete the course of conduct constituting [Specify Underlying Felony], or when he/she is fleeing from the immediate seene of a/an [Specify Underlying Felony].

Statutory Authority: 21 O.S. 1991 2011, § 701.8.

Committee Comments

The instruction is proposed as a means of focusing the jury's attention upon the two critical elements of felony murder: commission of a felony, and death to the victim as a consequence of the defendant's conduct in committing that crime.

This portion of section 7OL.8 essentially embodies the language of the pre-1973 felony-murder rule, 21 0.$.1971, § 701(8). Like section 701(8), section 701.8 does not require that any particular intent or mental state be established in order to convict the defendant of felony-murder. Given the near identity of language, the Oklahoma precedent discussed in relation to first-degree felony murder, holding that all co-felons participating in the felony may be convicted of murder where the conduct of any one of the participants causes death in the commission of the crime, seems fully applicable.

Several points must be emphasized regarding the any felony language of section 701.8. First, the Court ruled in Tarter v. State, 1961 OK CR 18, 359 P.2d 596, 597 (Syllabus 6 by the Court): In order for the taking of human life to constitute murder by reason of the perpetrator being engaged in the commission of a felony, the precedent felony must constitute an independent crime not included within the resulting homicide. The defendant in Tarter maintained he had fired at the deceased in an attempt to hit his legs in an effort to make him suffer as I have suffered. Id. ¶ 29, 359 P.2d at 600. The State argued that such an assault upon the deceased would constitute a felony, so that section 701(3) would support the defendant's conviction for murder. The Court rejected this contention, and held that the felony-murder rule is inapplicable where the underlying felony is included in the resulting homicide, and does not constitute an independent crime. The elements constituting the felony in which the defendant was engaged must be distinct from the consequent homicide. See also Sullinger v. State, 1984 OK CR 44, ¶ 5, 675 P.2d 472, 473 (aggravated assault and battery on a corrections officer was not independent of the homicide). the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals announced in Barnett v. State, 2011 OK CR 28, ¶¶ 10-15, 32, 263 P.3d 959, 963-64, that it would no longer require the precedent felony to be an independent crime that was not included within the resulting homicide, and the Court abandoned the merger doctrine, which previously had restricted the crime of second degree felony murder.

Another limitation-is-that However, an enumerated felony for first degree felony murder cannot serve as the basis for a second degree felony murder charge. State v. McCann, 1995 OK CR 70, ¶¶ 7-9, 907 P.2d 239, 241 (affirming demurrer to information charging defendant with see-ond degree felony murder based on felony of unlawful distribution of a controlled dangerous substance).

In addition, the "any felony" language raises the specter of a forger being con-viected of murder if he accidentally trips his victim and causes the victim to strike his head and suffer death. Many jurisdictions have cireumseribed the scope of the "any felony" rule by judicial decision. Seq, e.g., People v. Washington, 62 Cal.2d 777 [44 Cal.Rptr. 442], 402 P.2d 130 (1965); Commonwealth v. Redline, 391 Pa. 486, 137 A.2d 472 (1958). The restriction of the felony-murder rule to those crimes which evince some potential for peril to others is more in accordance with the common law development of the doctrine than it is an unfettered interpretation of the "any felony" provision. Indeed, at common law the felony-murder rule was in fact more narrow and less arbitrary because, at the time the doctrine developed, the few existing felonies were themselves punishable by death, W. LaFave & A. Scott, Criminal Law § 71, at 545-48 (1972).

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has afforded explicit recognition to this limiting principle. In Wade v. State, 1978 OK CR 77, 581 P.2d 914, the defendant committed the felony of possession of a loaded pistol in an establishment where beer or alcoholic beverages were consumed, in contravention of 21 0.8. Supp. 1976, §§ 1272.1-1272.2. In affirming the defendant's conviction for felony-murder in connection with the homicide of a woman by the defendant, the Court articulated a requirement which must link the underlying felony to the homicide: "The felony must be inherently or potentially dangerous to human life, inherently dangerous as determined by the elements of the offense or potentially dangerous in light of the facts and cireumstances surrounding both the felony and the homicide." Id. T4, 581 P.2d at 916.

Thus, the Court has adopted an approach to the question of whether the particular felony at issue might form the basis for a felony-murder charge that requires an examination of the cireumstances in which the crime was committed, as well as of the crime itself. As an abstract proposition, some felonies, such as burglary or robbery, are inherently dangerous to life, while others, such as larceny or false pretenses, are not. But the facts of the particular case, including the cireunmstances under which the felony was perpetrated, must be examined in order to determine whether even a nonperilous felony is committed in such a way as to create a potential danger to life.

The determination of the inherent or potential peril to human life engendered by the defendant's conduct must be made by the trial judge. Should he find the felony-murder rule inappropriate as applied to a particular felony, he should not instruct on it. Should he find the felony-murder rule applicable, he must determine which felony or felonies to name and define in the instruction. - Note: Due-process requires that any such felony be charged in the information or indictment. Cole v. Arkansas, 333 U.S. 196 [68 S.Ct. 514, 92 L.Ed. 644] (1948). If the jury is charged and instructed on the basis of alternative felonies, separate verdict forms should be given in order to determine which felony was committed,

Committee Comments

Scope of the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule. The misdemeanor-manslaughter rule, like the felony-murder rule, requires no particular mental state on the part of the defendant except that which is required for conviction of the underlying misdemeanor. However, an apparent difference between the felony-murder rule and the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule lies in the nature of the underlying crime which can form the basis for a homicide prosecution. As discussed in the Committee Comments pertaining to felony-murder in the second degree, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals has held that the crime termed a felony must constitute an independent crime not included within the consequent homicide. Thus, in Tarter v. State, 1961 OK CR 18, 359 P.2d 596, the defendant who committed an aggravated assault by shooting with intent to hit the homicide victim in the legs could not be convicted of felony-murder.

By contrast, the Oklahoma cases seem to indicate that the independent-crime limitation does not apply to misdemeanor-manslaughter. See, e.g., Miller v. State, 1974 OK CR 117, 523 P.2d 1118 (defendant who committed misdemeanor of pointing pistol at victim while engaging in drunken horseplay was convicted for misdemeanor-manslaughter); Lady v. State, 18 Okl. Cr. 59, 192 P. 699 (1920) (defendant who committed misdemeanor of willfully discharging firearm along an open road was convicted for misdemeanor-manslaughter); Kent v. State, 8 Okl. Cr. 118, 126 P. 1040 (1912) (defendant who committed misdemeanor of pointing a deadly weapon at deceased was convicted for misdemeanor-manslaughter).

The Court explicitly declared in Miller, supra, that, where the defendant indeed commits conduct which constitutes a misdemeanor and thereby causes death, no instruction regarding manslaughter in the second degree was warranted, and rejected a contrary suggestion stated in dicta in Glenn v. State, 1958 OK CR 102, 333 P.2d 597, cert. denied, 359 U.S. 1014 (1958). The Court drew this conclusion from its construction of the second-degree manslaughter statute, section 716 of Title 21, which defines as within its confines only those homicides which are not Murder or Manslaughter in the First Degree. Miller, supra, 1974 OK CR 117, ¶ 9, 523 P.2d at 1121. Although Miller (has not been overruled, its holding has probably been superseded by Shrum v. State, 1999 OK CR 41, ¶ 10, 991 P.2d 1032, 1036, in which the Court of Criminal Appeals adopted the evidence test to determine what constitutes a lesser included offense for a charged crime.

The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals held in State v. Ceasar, 2010 OK CR 15, 237 P.3d 792, that any misdemeanor can be used as the underlying offense in a misdemeanor manslaughter charge. In Ceasar, the Court overruled the magistrate's sustaining of a demurrer for first degree manslaughter in the commission of a misdemeanor, where the predicate misdemeanor was for driving after revocation of a driver's license. The Court held that because 21 O.S.2001, § 711(1) does not distinguish among the type or category of misdemeanor which can be used as the underlying offense in a misdemeanor manslaughter charge, any misdemeanor would satisfy the initial step in charging misdemeanor manslaughter. 2010 OK CR 15, ¶ 10, 237 P.3d at 794.

One final statutory demarcation concerning the scope of the misdemeanor-manslaughter statute is warranted. The vehicular or negligent homicide statute enacted in 1961, section 11-9038 of Title 47, provides that a person who causes the death of another through operation of a vehicle in "reckless disregard of the safety of others" is culpable for negligent homicide. The Court has held that, where the underlying misdemeanor perpetrated by the defendant is an offense of the reckless driving ilk, the negligent-homicide statute applies to the exclusion of the first-degree manslaughter law. Short v. State, 1977 OK CR 44, 560 P.2d 219. However, where the misdemeanor offense is driving while intoxicated, in violation of section 11-901 of Title 47, such conduct removes a consequent homicide from the definition of "negligent homicide" and renders a conviction for manslaughter in the first degree appropriate. Lomahaitewa v. State, 1978 OK CR 67, 581 P.2d 43; White v. State, 1971 OK CR 141, 483 P.2d 751; Ritchie w. Raines, 1997 [1962] OK CR 101, 374 P.2d 772.

Proximate Cause. The broad range of conduct defined as violative of the criminal law, and thus constituting misdemeanor offenses, renders the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule, on its face, one of virtually unlimited application, appropriate to any instance where death ensues while the defendant is engaged in perpetration of a misdemeanor. For example, convictions for manslaughter in the first degree have been found appropriate where the defendant's underlying unlawful act was carrying a gun, Welborn v. State, 70 OK. Cr. 97, 105 P.2d 187 (1940), or disciplining a child to the extent of committing assault and battery, Campbell v. State, 1976 OK CR 32, 546 P.2d 276.

The Court of Criminal Appeals, however, has cireumseribed applicability of the doctrine by requiring that the offense the defendant was engaged in when death ensued must be the "direct and proximate cause" of the homicide. Logan v. State, 42 Okl. Or. 294, 298, 275 P. 657, 658 (1929). In Logan, the seminal case, the Court affirmed the defendant's conviction for manslaughter in the first degree where the homicide with which the defendant was charged ensued while the defendant was driving at an unlawful rate of speed and in an intoxicated state. The Court reasoned that "[clertainly, the commission of a misdemeanor in no way connected with the death is not what is meant by the law." Id. at 295, 275 P. at 658. Examples cited by the Court where proximate cause would be absent were situations where the defendant unintentionally and otherwise without culpability struck and killed a person while driving without a vehicle tag, or struck and killed a person who had intentionally thrust himself into the path of the defendant's automobile while the defendant was driving at an excessive rate of speed.

This restriction, that the offense relied upon as a predicate for misdemeanor-manslaughter must directly and proximately cause the homicide, has been reiterated and adhered to in subsequent cases. Ruth v. State, 1978 OK CR 79, 581 P.2d 919; Nickelberry v. State, 1974 OK CR 81, 521 P.2d 879; Lime v. State, 1973 OK CR 178, 508 P.2d 710; Gallaway v. State, 1971 OK CR 507, 492 P.2d 368; Chase v. State, 1963 OK CR 56, 382 P.2d 457. However, these cases also specify that omission of a proximate-cause instruction in a case where death is clearly the result of the defendant's unlawful act is not reversible error.

The Court has also stated that the instruction given need not be in any particular language, so long as it adequately informs the jurors of the necessity of finding a causal link. The Commission is reluctant to insert the term "proximate" or "legal" in the instruction, and has substituted "direct result" as a description of the necessary causal connection.

Even faithful application of the proximate-cause requirement does not assuage the potential harshness of the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule under certain circumstances. The following scenario is adapted from a hypothetical case discussed in W. LaFave & A. Scott, Criminal Law § 79, at 595-96 (1972). Operating a vehicle without brakes is a statutory offense. The defendant's brakes suddenly fail, through no fault of his own, and he strikes and kills the victim. Under Oklahoma law, since proximate cause is established, the defendant could be convicted of manslaughter in the first degree, which seems an untoward result. This consequence was avoided at common law by permitting a manslaughter conviction only where the unlawful act which proximately caused the homicide was malum in se, rather than a violation of a regulatory statute. W. LaFave & A. Scott, supra, at 594-601. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 73-77 (2d ed.1969). Although there exists no such distinction in the Oklahoma cases, the Commission has unearthed no case affirming a misdemeanor-manslaughter conviction where the underlying offense was merely malum prohibitum. In State v. Ceasar, 2010 OK CR 15, 237 P.3d 792, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals overruled the magistrate's sustaining of a demurrer for first degree manslaughter in the commission of a misdemeanor, where the predicate misdemeanor was for driving after revocation of a driver's license. The Court decided that the misdemeanor for driving after revocation of a driver's license satisfied the proximate cause requirement for application of the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule, because the defendant's driving after revocation of his driver's license was a substantial factor in bringing about the victim's death. Id. ¶ 13, 237 P.3d at 795.

It should be observed that the Court's treatment of this question of causation and inherent nature of the offense is the converse of its resolution of the question in the felony-murder context, where, as discussed in the Committee Comments pertaining to first- and second-degree felony-murder, the Court has determined that the inherently or potentially dangerous nature of the underlying felony must be established, but that proximate cause need not be demonstrated. Wade v. State, 1978 OK CR 77, 581 P.2d 914.

"In the commission of." Although the Commission has recommended that the trial judge instruct the jurors regarding the breadth of the "in the commission of" language as embodied in the felony-murder statutes, it is the Commission's position that the proximate cause requirement, emphasized by use of the term "direct result" in the instruction, renders such an instruetion superfluous in the misdemeanor-manslaughter context. The Commission has found no Oklahoma cases addressing this precise point.

Accomplice responsibility. - Oklahoma precedent clearly provides that a person engaged in the commission of an inherently or potentially dangerous felony is culpable for murder where death ensues, regardless of whether he or a cofelon actually performs the slaying. Prior to the enactment of the current murder statutes, the Court of Criminal Appeals indicated that a felony-murder conviction might be sustained even where the slaying was performed by a police officer while the defendant was perpetrating a felony. See Johnson v. State, 1963 OK CR 91, 386 P.2d 336. The issue raised in the misdemeanor-manslaughter context is whether a similar result of accomplice responsibility obtains. The Commission has concluded that it does. The common law foundations for the misdemeanor-manslaughter rule justify accomplice responsibility for homicide. The historical limitation of the doctrine's applicability to situations where the underlying offense is malum in se was intended to punish the defendant for homicide whenever conduct in which he engages poses a peril to the lives and safety of others. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 73-79 (2d ed.19869).

However, strict application of the proximate-cause requirement, which is the prevailing rule in Oklahoma, makes it difficult to conjure up a hypothetical situation where the defendant's conduct would be deemed the direct and proximate cause of the consequent death unless the defendant himself performed the slaying.

Notes on Use

The trial court should read the bracketed language in the second element only if the defendant was of the same sex as the victim. In the third element the trial court should read only the alternative (or alternatives) that is (or are) supported by the evidence.

Committee Comments

In all instances, the statutory age under which a victim is legally incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse is 16, section 1111(A)(1). If a defense under section 1112 is unavailable, sexual intercourse with a person under 16 years of age is at least rape in the second degree, although if the - victim is under 14 years of age, rape in the first degree is a possible charge. Even if the proof establishes that the victim is 13 years of age, a prosecution and conviction for rape in the second degree is proper because rape in the second degree is a lesser included offense of rape in the first degree. Hence, the first alternative in the third element simply indicates a victim under 16 years of age.

The other alternatives in the third element constitute, in fact or by law, sexual intercourse without the consent of the vice-tim.

The age of the defendant is not an element of the crime of second-degree rape. If the prosecutor is uncertain whether it can be proved that the defendant has attained the age of 18, he/she can charge the defendant with second-degree rape and the conviction would be upheld although it is established that the defendant is over 18. Brasel v. State, 1929 OK CR 216 48-Okl.Cr.-403, 291 P. 807, 48 Okl. Cr. 403 1930) The age of the defendant may become relevant as a defense, however, under seetion 1112, if the victim is over 14 years of age and consents, and the defendant is under 18 years of age.

Oklahoma's rape shield law, 12 O.S. 2001 2011, § 2412, limits the use of evidence of the sexual behavior of the victim in prosecutions for sexual offenses.

Committee Comments

The crime of rape by instrumentation 21 O.S. 1991 2011, § 1111.1, does not fall within the common law definition of rape. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 152 (2d ed.1969). Before section 1111.1 was adopted in 1981, the acts constituting this erime would have fallen within the assault and battery crimes. Since section 1111.1 creates a specific crime covering acts falling within its purview, the State should charge under this specific statute rather than the general assault and battery statutes. 21 O.S. 2001 2011, § 11.

Most elements of rape by instrumentation are self-explanatory. In reference to the first element, note that penetration of the mouth is not included within this offense. Such a foreeable forcible act would, however, be covered by the crime against nature/foreeable forcible sodomy statutes, 21 0.8. 2001 2011, §§ 886, 888. "Any sexual penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete this crime." 21 0.8. 2001 2011, § 1118.

The second element, "of another person," means just what it states. Under section 1111.1, spousal "rape" is specifically recognized. The Commission has concluded that the language "of another person," when used in conjunction with "penetration of the anus or vagina," means that a male can "rape" a male and a female can "rape" a female by instrumentation.

Committee Comments

The Committee interprets the statute strictly to require "willfully and maliciously" to apply to all the elements in the statute, including "while manufacturing or attempting to manufacture a controlled dangerous substance in violation of subsection G of Section 2-401 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes." See State v. Davis, 2011 OK CR 22, ¶ 5, 260 P.3d 194, 195 ("This Court is committed to the rule of strict construction in the application of criminal statutes."); Durant v. State, 2008 OK CR 17, ¶ 8, 188 P.3d 192, 194 ("The purpose of strict construction is not to reward those who commit acts which should be punishable.

[failure to submit to drug and alcohol testing after an accident involving immediate death]

[driving under suspension/revocation]

Notes on Use

This instruction is to be used for a number of crimes in Title 47 involving the use of a motor vehicle, including driving under the influence and being in actual physical control of a motor vehicle.

Committee Comments

The Court of Criminal Appeals has pointed out that section 11-902(A) creates two separate and distinct offenses: driving under the influence, which involves motion; and physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating alcohol, which does not require proof of motion. Crane v. State, 1969 OK CR 267, 461 P.2d 986 (Okl.Cr.1969); Parker v. State, 1967 OK CR 7, 424 P.2d 997 (Okl.Cr.1967).

DRIVING A MOTOR VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL)/WITH ALCOHOL CONCEN.-TRATION OF .08 OR MORE)-ELEMENTS

No person may be convicted of driving a motor vehicle (while under the influence of aleohol)/{(with a blood/breath alcohol concentration of .08 or more) unless the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime. These elements are:

First, driving;

Second, (with a blood/breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more)/(while under the influence of alcohol);

Third, a motor vehicle;

Fourth, on a (public road/street /highway/turnpike/ street/place / (public-parking-lot) / (private road/street/alley/lane which provides access to one or more single or multi-family dwellings);

[Fifth, the blood/breath alcohol test was administered on a sample taken from the defendant (within 2 hours after arrest)/(as soon as practical after the fatality/injury accident).]

Statutory Authority: 47 O.S. 2001-&-Supp. 2004 2011, §§ 11-101, 11-902, 10-104(B).

Notes on Use

The Fifth Element should be read only for prosecutions under 47 O.S. Supp.2008 2011, § 11-902(A)(1). Read literally, seetion 11-902(A)(1) would make it a crime for a person to have a blood or breath aleohol concentration of .08 or more at the time of a test administered within two hours after a person's arrest, even if the arrest occurred long after the person had ceased driving and there was evidence that the person had consumed additional alcohol between the driving and the time of the test. To avoid such a result, the Committee has drafted the instruction to require a nexus between the driving and the excessive blood or breath alcohol concentration. In Sanders v. State, 2002 OK CR 42, ¶ 15, 60 P.3d 1048, 1050, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals held that section 11-902(A)(1) applied in a situation where a defendant is arrested at an accident seene or soon after an accident, but not where the arrest occurs long after the accident.

Driving under the influence of alcohol must be defined if the prosecution is under 47 O.S. Supp.2004 2011, § 11-902(A)(2). Bernhardt v. State, 1986 OK CR 76, ¶ 4, 719 P.2d 882, 883. For the definition of "under the influence," see OUJI-CR 6-85, infra. The Bernhardt case also held that driving while impaired is a lesser included offense for driving under the influence of alcohol. 1986 OK CR 76, 13, 719 P.2d at 838.

The instruction on sentencing (see OUJI-CR 10-13, infra) should include the sentencing options for alcohol treatment and community services that are provided for in 47 O.S. S§4pp2008 2011, § 11-902(A)(1). See Hicks v. State, 2003 OK CR 10, ¶ 4, 70 P.83d 882, 883.

[Fourth, the blood/breath alcohol test was administered within 2 hours after arrest).]

Statutory Authority: 47 O.S8. 2001 2011, § 11-902. See also 47 0.8. 2001, § 11-101.

Notes on Use

The Fourth Element should be read only for prosecutions under 47 O.S. 2001; § 11-902(A)(1).

Committee Comments

Although section 11-902(A) uses the language "drive, operate," the Court of Criminal Appeals has indicated that "drive" and "operate" are synonymous. Bearden wv. State, 1967 OK CR 133, 430 P.2d 844 (Okl. Cr.1967); Parker v. State, 1967 OK CR 7, 424 P.2d 997 (Okl.Cr.1967).

It should be emphasized again, however, that the words "actual physical control" are not synonymous with "drive." The Court of Criminal Appeals has stated that, by adding the words "actual physical control," the Legislature intended to apply the law to persons who control a vehicle but who may not have put the vehicle into motion. A Montana case, State v. Ruona, 133 Mont. 243, 321 P.2d 615 (1958), involving an identical statute is cited as illustration. In Ruona, the defendant was found intoxicated behind the wheel of a vehicle with the motor running, but no evidence could be adduced that the defendant had driven the vehicle The Oklahoma court indicated that the defendant could not have been convicted of driving while under the influence but could be convicted of being in actual physical control while under the influence. See also Wofford v. State, 1987 OK CR 148, 739 P.2d 543 (Okl.Cr.1987) (defendant was sleeping in driver's seat); Kyle v. State, 1986 OK CR 117, ¶ 7, 722 P.2d 1218, 1219 (Okl.Cr.1986) (evidence that defendant exited vehicle on the driver's side was sufficient for inference of actual physical control); Mason v. State, 1979 OK CR 132, ¶ 6, 603 P.2d 1146, 1147 (Okl.Cr.1979) (defendant was unconscious behind the steering wheel of a vehicle with its engine running); Hughes v. State, 1975 OK CR 83, 535 P.2d 1023 (Olk.Cr.1975) (defendant was unconscious behind steering wheel); Cudjoe v. State, 1974-OK-CR 75, 521 P.2d 409 (Okl.Cr.1974) (defendant was asleep behind wheel); Crane v. State, 1969 OK CR 267, 461 P.2d 986 (Okl.Cz.1969); Parker v. State, 1967 OK CR 7, 424 P.2d 997 (Okl.Cr.1967).

The third element requires that the motor vehicle be driven on a highway or on a public parking lot. State v. Haws, 869 P.2d 849, 851-52 (Okl.Cr.1994). For a definition of a public parking lot, see OUJI-CR 6-35, infra.

BURGLARY-DEFENSE OF CONSENT

A person who enters a dwelling with the consent or authorization of an owner or occupant of that dwelling does not commit a "breaking" and therefore cannot be convicted of burglary in-tho-first-degree (in the first/second __ degree)/(with __ explosives). Such consent or authorization to enter is adequate where it is given by one who has actual authority to give it or by one who reasonably appears to have such authority.

It is the burden of the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not enter with the consent or authorization of an owner or occupant or one who reasonably appeared to have such authority. If you find that the State has failed to sustain that burden, then the defendant must be found not guilty.

Notes on Use

This instruction should be given in a first or second degree burglary case or a burglary with explosives case where the evidence presented at trial sufficiently raises the issue of consent or authorization to enter.
