EXAMINATION BY THE COURT

I will now ask you a number of questions to determine your qualifications to serve as jurors in this case. To determine your qualifications I will need to obtain information from each of you, including some personal information. The purpose of these questions is to obtain a fair jury and it is not to embarrass you. If any of my questions should touch on sensitive subjects that you do not want to have heard by everyone present, you should tell me, and you can then come forward so that we can discuss those matters privately.

1. Do you reside in [Name of County] County?

Committee Comments
Okla. Const. art. 2, § 20 requires "trial by an impartial jury of the county in which the crime shall have been committed." Not every juror who reports for service on the jury panel is necessarily a resident of the county, and so the judge should make sure that all non-residents are removed from the jury.

2. The attorney(s) for the State is/are [Name the Attorney(s)]. Do any of you know the attorney(s) for the State? Has the District Attorney's office handled any matter for any of you?

8. The attorney(s) for the defendant(s) is/are [Name the Attorney(s) ]. Do any of you know the attorney(s) for the defendant(s)? Has/Have the attorney(s) for the defendant(s) [or his/her law firm] represented you on any legal matter?

4, - The defendant(s) in this case is/are is [Name the Defendant(s) ]. Do any of you know the defendant(s)?

5. Do/Did any of you know [Name the Alleged Victim(s) 1, or any member of his/ her/their family?

6. The witnesses who may be called in this case are [Name the Witnesses) ]: Do any of you know any of the witnesses, or any member of their families?

7. Have any of you read or heard the alleged facts of this case? Have you expressed or formed an opinion concerning this case? Would any information you have read or heard concerning this case influence your ability to hear or decide this case impartially? Have you discussed this case with anyone prior to today?

8. Have any of you had any experience that you feel might affect your consideration of this case?

9. Are you or is-anyone-in-your immediate-family any of your friends or relatives employed or involved with a law enforcement agency or organization? Have you or has in immediate family any of your friends or relatives been connected with law enforcement in the past? Do you hold or have you held a "Reserve Deputy Commis-gion," a "Special Deputy Commission," or an "Honorary Deputy Commission"?

Committee Comments
Under 88 O.S. Supp. 2001, § 28, sheriffs or deputy sheriffs are disqualified from serving as jurors. The Court of Criminal Appeals has held that a person who holds a "reserve deputy commission," a "special deputy commission," or an "honorary deputy commission" is similarly disqualified from serving as a juror, even though the person holding this commission has no legal authority or legal duty to act as a deputy sheriff. State v. Smith, 1958 OK CR 6, 320 P2d 719 (Okl.Cr.1958); Henderson v. State, 95 Okl. Cr. 342, 246 P.2d 398 (1952); Allen v. State, 70 Okl. Cr. 148, 105 P.2d 450 (1940); Carr v. State, 63 Okl. Cr. 201, 84 P.2d 42 (1988); Tripp v. State, 68 Okl. Cr. 41, 72 P.2d 529 (1987).

10. Have any of you ever been charged with or accused of a crime? Have any of your close friends or relatives ever been charged with or accused of a crime?

11. Have any of you ever been victims of a crime? Have any of your elose friends or relatives ever been victims of a crime?

12. I will instruct you on the law and the rules by which the jury reaches a verdict. Your duty as jurors is to accept and follow the law as included in the instructions and rules given to you by me. If selected as a juror, will each of you accept and follow the law as included in the instructions and rules that I will give to you?

One instruction I will give is that the/each defendant is presumed innocent of the crime charged, and the presumption continues unless after consideration of all the evidence you are convinced of his/her/(each defendant's) guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The State has the burden of presenting the evidence that establishes the guilt of the/ each defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. The/Each defendant must be found not guilty unless the State produces evidence which convinees you beyond a reasonable doubt of each element of the crime. If selected as a juror, will each of you presume the/each defendant innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

[Select either Alternate 1 (No Death Penalty) or Alternate 2 (Death Penalty) ].

Alternate 1 (No Death Penalty)

Another instruction I will give is that as jurors, if you find the defendant(s) guilty, you will have the duty to assess punishment. The punishment for the crime of [Name the Crime Charged] is a possible maximum punishment of (a term in the State Penitentiary for [possible maximum years in Penitentiary] )/(a term in the County Jail for [possible maximum jail term]) and/or [a fine of (possible maximum fine) ].

If selected as a juror and you find the defendant(s) guilty, will each of you assess punishment in accordance with the law?

Notes on Use
Alternate 1 shall be given except when the crime charged is murder in the first degree and the death penalty is sought. It should be repeated for each crime charged.
Committee Comments
If the charge involves an "after former conviction" charge, Question 11, Alternate 1, should not be given at voir dire. See 22 ©.S$.2001, § 860.1. No discussion of the possible punishment in an "after former conviction" case should be given to the jury until the second stage of the trial.

Alternate 2 (Death Penalty)

The defendant is charged with murder in the first degree. It will be the duty of the jury to determine whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty after considering the evidence and instructions of law presented in court.

If the jury finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty of murder in the first degree, the jury will then have the duty to assess punishment. The punishment for murder in the first degree is death, imprisonment for life without parole or imprisonment for life.

If you find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, can you consider all three of these legal punishments-death, imprisonment for life without parole or imprisonment for life-and impose the one warranted by the law and evidence?

[If the answer to the preceding question is negative ]

If you found beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of murder in the first degree and if under the evidence, facts and cireumstances of the case the law would permit you to consider a sentence of death/(imprisonment for life without parole)/(imprisonment for life), are your reservations - about the - penalty - of death/(imprisonment for life without parole)/(imprisonment for life) so strong that regardless of the law, the facts and cireumstances of the case, you would not impose consider the imposition of the penalty of death/(imprisonment for life without parole)/(imprisonment for life)?

[Required To Be Asked In All Death Penalty Cases On-Request-of-Defense Counsel-By-Either-the-Judge-or-Defense Counsel|-If you found find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was is guilty of murder in the first degree, would will you automatically impose the penalty of death?

Notes on Use
Alternate 2 shall be given when the crime charged is murder in the first degree and the death penalty is sought. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals emphasized in Hanson v. State, 2002 2008 OK CR 12, T 6, 72 P.3d 40, 46-47, that "[this Court has repeatedly held that, if a defendant so requests, either he or the trial court must ask prospective jurors whether they would automatically impose a sentence of death." Accordingly-the-jurors all-death-penalty-eases,-if-tho-defense eounsel-so-requests. While the Committee acknowledges that Morgan v. Ilinois, 504 U.S. 719 (1992) does not require the last question to be asked absent the request of defense counsel, the Committee believes that the interests of justice and judicial economy will be best served if the trial court asks this question in all death penalty cases.
Committee Comments
The punishments authorized in 21 0.8. 2001 § 701.9 are death, imprisonment of life without parole, and imprisonment for life.
The United States Supreme Court held in Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U.S. 510, 521-22 (1968), that the death penalty could not be carried out if it was imposed by a jury from which jurors had been exeluded because they voiced general objection to the death penalty or conscientious or religious seruple to it. A juror may be challenged for cause, however, if that jurors's views on capital punishment would "prevent or substantially impair the performance of his duties as a juror in accordance with his instructions and his oath." Wain wright v. Wilt, 469 U.S. 412, 424 (1985), quoting Adams v. Texas, 448 U.S. 38, 45 (1980). See also Trice v. State, 1998 OK CR 19, 1 8, 853 P.2d 208, 209 (Olkl.Cz2.1993) (applying this standard). A juror should not be excused for cause because he or she disagrees with the death penalty or even if imposing it would do violence to the juror's conscience. Banks v. State, 1985 OK CR 60, 110, 701 P.2d 418, 422 ("Violence done to one's conscience is not the point of the Witherspoon voir dire examination."). Instead, the trial court's concern should be "whether each jury member will consider the imposition of the death sentence, as one of the alternatives provided by state law, should the case be appropriate for that punishment." Duvall v. State, 1991 OK CR 64, 124, 825 P.2d 621, 630 (OkLCr14991).
In addition to being willing to consider imposition of a death sentence, if warranted, a juror must also be willing to consider the alternative sentences of imprisonment for life without parole and imprisonment for life. The United States Supreme Court held in Morgan v. Illinois, 504 U.S. 719, 735 (1992), that a trial court's refusal to inquire into whether a potential juror would automatically impose the death penalty upon conviction of a defendant was a violation of due process of law. See also Ross v. Oklahoma, 487 U.S. 81, 85 (1988) (juror who stated that he would vote to impose death automatically if the jury decided that the defendant was guilty should have been removed for cause). In Hanson v. State, 2002 2003 OK CR 12, 116-8, 72 P.3d 40, 46-47, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals remanded for capital re-sentencing because the trial court did not allow defense counsel to ask whether any juror would automatically impose death.
Although Alternate 2 does not conform exactly to the language that the Court of Criminal Appeals recommended in Duvall v. State, supra, Alternate 2 is consistent with Duvall's holding. It also incorporates the requirement in Morgan v. Illinois, supra, that the trial judge should question the jurors about whether they would give appropriate consideration to life imprisonment as well as the death penalty. Cf. Hammon v. State, 1995 OK CR 88, T54, 898 P.2d 1287, 1800 ("A defendant on trial for his life must be permitted on voir dire to ascertain whether his prospective jurors function under the belief that upon conviction the death penalty should automatically be imposed.").

13. Having been asked these questions, do any of you know at this time any reason why you could not be a fair and impartial juror? If so please raise your hand.

14. The court now requests that each of you give your name, your spouse's name if you are married, your occupation, your spouse's occupation, and the number of children you have. Please speak slowly and clearly. Let us begin with [Note: Indicate the juror who is to begin.]

Committee Comments
The Commission urges that the trial court prepare and distribute to the attorneys a sheet with a facsimile of the jury box providing spaces for the attorneys to copy the information requested by the court in question 13.
Jurors should not be asked to give their addresses during voir dire. 838 O.S.Supp.: 2001 § 36 ("Persons serving as jurors during a trial shall not be asked or required to give their complete residence addresses or telephone number in the presence of the defendant.").

OUJI-CR 4-68

DEATH PENALTY PROCEEDINGS-INTRODUCTION

The defendant in this case has been found guilty by you, the jury, of the offense of murder in the first degree. It is now your duty to determine the penalty to be imposed for this offense.

Under the law of the State of Oklahoma, every person found guilty of murder in the first degree shall be punished by death, or imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole, or imprisonment for life with the possibility of parole.

Committee Comments
In Johnson v. State, 1996 OK CR 86, 1 52, 928 P.2d 309, 320, the Court of Criminal Appeals approved a modification of this Instruction concerning the possibility of parole in order to provide greater clarity. The court stated, however, that it did not require the giving of the Instruction with this modification.
Jurors may ask the judge whether a person who has been sentenced to imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole may ever be released from prison. The Court of Criminal Appeals gave the following advice to trial courts in Little-john v. State, 2004 OK CR 6, 111, 85 P.3d 287, 298-94, on how to respond to such requests:
Therefore, in future cases where the jury during deliberations asks, in some form or fashion, whether an offender who is sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole is parole eligible, the trial court should either refer the jury back to the instructions, Douglas, 1997 OK CR 79, 1% 103-04, 951 P.2d at 678, tell the jury that the punishment options are self explanatory, see Mayes, 1994 OK CR 44, 1187, 887 P.2d at 1318, or advise the jury that the punishment options are to be understood in their plain and literal sense and that the defendant will not be eligible for parole if sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. While arguably the latter response is nothing more than another way of referring the jury back to the instructions, it does force the jury to accept the plain meaning of the sentencing options and impose the sentence it deems appropriate under the law and facts of the case. We recognize trial courts are in the best position to decide which answer is best suited to the situation as the questions posed by juries come in a myriad of forms on this issue. However, we believe the latter explanation may alleviate some obvious concerns of jurors more effectively than simply telling the jury it has all the law and evidence necessary to reach a decision.

OUJI-CR 4-78

DEATH PENALTY PROCEEDINGS-HEINOUS, ATROCIOUS, CRUEL DEFINED

The State has alleged that the murder was "especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel." This aggravating circumstance is not established unless the State proves beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, that the murder was preceded by either torture of the victim or serious physical abuse of the victim; and

Second, that the facts and circumstances of this case establish that the murder was heinous, atrocious, or cruel.

You are instructed that the term "torture" means the infliction of either great physical anguish or extreme mental cruelty. You are further instructed that you cannot find that "serious physical abuse" or "great physical anguish" occurred unless you also find that the victim experienced conscious physical suffering prior to his/her death.

In addition, you are instructed that the term "heinous" means extremely wicked or shockingly evil; the term "atrocious" means outrageously wicked and vile; and the term "cruel" means pitiless, designed to inflict a high degree of pain, or utter indifference to or enjoyment of the suffering of others.

Committee Comments

The Court of Criminal Appeals has directed trial courts to use this instruction in all future capital murder trials where the State alleges the heinous, atrocious, or eru-el aggravator. DeRosa v. State, 2004 OK CR 19, 1 96, 89 P.3d 1156.

OUJI-CR 5-19

EMBEZZLEMENT-INTRODUCTION

The defendant is charged with felony/misdemeanor embezzlement of [Description of Property, Amount, etc.] on [Date] (owned by)/(entrusted to him/her/them by) [Name of Owner, Employer, etc.] in [Name of County] County, Oklahoma.

Committee Comments

This introductory instruction is meant for use with the crimes set forth in Title 21, Chapter 59, entitled Embezzlement.

Under 21 0.8. Supp.2002, § 1451(B), the crime of embezzlement is a misdemeanor if the value of the property embezzled is less than $500. and it is a felony if the value of the property embezzled is $500 or more.

Embezzlement is basically a crime against ownership, since the defendant has acquired physical possession by lawful means. If the defendant unlawfully acquired physical possession, he should have been charged with larceny, a crime against possession, not with embezzlement. The usual case involves entrustment of property by the owner to a person who embezzles the property. The language "owned by" is appropriate here. Situations arise, however, in which an agent embezzles money received from a principal but under circumstances that make it inappropriate to say that the principal is the owner of the property. See, e.g., State v. Harrison, 1989 OK CR 27, 15, 777 P.2d 1848, 1345 (OkL-Cz.-1989) (embezzlement statute covered employer who withheld taxes on behalf of the State but refused to pay them over to the State); Wallen v. State, 1961 OK CR 110, 1 1, 867 P.2d 516, 517 (OkKL.Cz¥. 1961) (Justice of the Peace failed to pay finds he collected into the county treasury); Wiley v. State, 1960 OK CR 4, 11 8-10, 349 P.2d 830, 34 (OkL.Cz.1960) (assistant county attorney received fines from traffic violators); Waldock v. State, 42 Ok1. Cr. 331, 333-34, 276 P. 509, 511 (1929) (trustee of county received proceeds of bond issue). In these latter situations, the language "entrusted to him by" is more appropriate.

Statutory Authority: 21 O.S. Supp.2004, § 1451.

Committee Comments
Two element instructions are given for embezzlement under section 1451 because two fact situations constitute crimes under the statute. This instruction covers the usual case in which the State will present evidence that the accused has in fact appropriated the property. The next instruction (OUJI-CR 5-21, infra) covers the case in which no appropriation has occurred but the accused has hidden the property with fraudulent intent to appropriate it at a more convenient time. Common law cases are split on the question of whether the act of hiding the property constitutes a conversion. Section 1451 explicitly resolves the question. Hence, instructions are presented to cover both situations. The trial judge should use the instruction more appropriate for the facts of the pending case.
The third element indicates that the property which is subject to embezzlement is personal property, not real property. The statutory language does not specify personal property, but merely "property." Basic research into Oklahoma cases has not revealed a case addressing this question. Only a few cases in the United States have dealt with the specific question of whether real property is covered by the embezzlement crime. See People v. Roland, 184 Cal. App. 675, 26 P.2d 517 (1983) (real property is subject to embezzlement); Manning v. State, 175 Ga. 875, 166 S.E. 658 (1982); State v. Clark, 60 Ohio App. 367, 21 N.E.2d 484 (19838) (real property is not subject to embezzlement). Even the treatise writers appear divided on the question. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 291 (2d ed.1969) and W. Clark & W. Marshall, A Treatise on the Law of Crimes 904-07 (7th ed.1967) imply that real property cannot be embezzled, whereas W. LaFave & A. Scott, Criminal Law § 89, at 646-647 (1972), state that, on principle, conviction for embezzlement of real property should be possible.
The Committee has concluded that real property was not meant to be included within the embezzlement statutes of Okla-homg. The Committee reached this conclusion for several reasons. First, embezzlement historically has been used to fill the gaps opened by interpretation of common law larceny. Larceny applies to personal property only because real property cannot be taken and carried away. Second, the punishment for embezzlement in Oklahoma is correlated to the punishment for larceny. 21 0.8.2001, § 1462. Third, the common law definition is to be followed, in the opinion of the Commission, unless the Legislature has clearly indicated otherwise. If the Legislature had meant to expand embezzlement, it should have used the words "real or personal property."
The seventh element presents the concept of lawful acquisition by the person who has embezzled. If the property is wrongfully acquired initially, the crime is larceny, not embezzlement. Emmis v. State, 1917 OK CR 150, 18 OKI. Cr. 675, 167 P. 229; Bivens v. State, 1912 OK CR 11, 6 Ok. Cr. 521, 120 P. 1088; Flohr v. Territory, 1904 OK 98, 14 OKI. 477, 78 P. 565.
In light of the statutory language of section 1451, a question arises whether the Legislature intended to abolish the distinction made at common law between custody and possession. At common law if a person merely acquired custody of property, i.e., physical possession, and then converted the property, the person had committed larceny but not embezzlement. The common law reasoning is that a person who has custody does not have legal possession of the property; hence, the conversion is a trespassory taking, rather than an appropriation. Taking is an element of larceny, whereas appropriating is an element of embezzlement. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 289 (2d ed.1969). The language of the statute is susceptible to a construction indicating that it is immaterial whether the embezzler had custody or possession when he converted.
Conflicting lines of cases decided under prior Oklahoma statutes exist in Oklahoma concerning the custody/possession dichotomy. In Cunningham v. District Court of Tulsa, 1967 OK CR 183, 482 P.2d 992, and Gibson v. State, 1958 OK CR 74, 828 P.2d 718, overruled on other grounds, Parker v. State, 1996 OK CR 19, n. 4, 917 P.2d 980, 986, the distinction between custody and possession is drawn. In Smith v. State, 42 Okl. Cr. 186, 275 P. 859 (1929), the distinction is repudiated. Although Cunning-hom, Gibson, and Smith construe separate statutes, the language of the statutes is similar. Former section 1452 read, "in his possession or under his control"; former section 1454 read, "entrusted with or having in his control"; former section 1456 read, "has come into his control or care"; and former section 1453 read, "having under his control." The Commission has concluded that the reasoning of the court in the Cunningham and (Gibson cases should be adopted when construing the embezzlement statutes in order to preserve the custody/possession distinction.
The fourth element is included to indicate whether the defendant is charged with felony or misdemeanor embezzlement and for the purposes of determining the appropriate range of punishment.
Some overlap with the larceny statutes may result from the following provision at the end of 21 0.8. Supp.2002, § 1451(A)(T): "without regard to whether packages containing the property have been broken." The common law courts hold that misappropriation of the entire package delivered to a carrier is not larceny because the carrier has lawful possession. Misappropriation of the entire package is therefore embezzlement. If the carrier opened the package and took an item in the package, however, the courts held that larceny has been committed because the carrier did not have lawful possession of the individual items in the package. This is known as the "breaking bulk" doctrine. However, under section 1451(A)(7) this latter factual situation is also embezzlement. The language of section 1451(A)(7) indicates that embezzlement is committed whether the carrier takes the whole package or individual items. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 260-62 (2d ed.1969).

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

No person may be convicted of driving a motor vehicle (while under the influence of alcohol)/(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 - highway/street/(public road)/turnpike/(public - place)/(private road/street/ alley/ lane which provides access to one or more single/(multifamily) 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 0.S$.2001 & Supp. 2004, § 11-902, 10-104(B).

Notes on Use
The Fifth Element should be read only for prosecutions under 47 0.8. 2001 Supp. 20083, § 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 alcohol 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, T 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 scene 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 0.8. 2001 Supp.2004, § 11-902(A)2). Bernhardt v. State, 1986 OK CR 76, T4, 719 P.2d 832, 838. For the the definition of "under the influence," see OUJI-CR 6-35, infra.

OUJI-CR 6-24

DRIVING (UNDER THE - INFLUENCE)/(WHILE IMPAIRED)CHEMICAL TEST EVIDENCE DEFINED

If you find that a chemical analysis of the defendant's blood/breath was performed on a sample taken from the defendant within two hours of (within 2 hours after arrest)/(as soon as practical after the fatality/injury accident), then the results of this analysis may be considered by you as to the issue of whether (the defendant was under the influence of alcohol)/(the defendant's ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired).

[Use for Driving Under the Influence]

If you are convinced that the amount of alcohol, by weight or volume, in the defendant's blood was eight-hundredths of one percent (0.08%) or greater, then you may find the defendant to have been under the influence of alcohol. If, however, after considering the chemical analysis together with all other evidence in the case, you entertain a reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant was under the influence, then you should find him/her not to have been under the influence of aleohol.

[Use for Driving While Impaired]

If you are convinced that the amount of alcohol, by weight or volume, in the defendant's blood was more than five-hundredths of one percent (0.05%), then you may consider this evidence on the issue of whether the defendant's ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol. However, no person may be found to have been under impaired ability solely because of a blood alcohol count above 0.05%. You must find, in addition, and beyond a reasonable doubt, that the person's driving was affected by the consumption of aleohol to the extent that the public health and safety were threatened, or that the person's operation of a motor vehicle violated a State statute or local ordinance.

If you are convinced that the amount of aleohol, by weight or volume, in the defendant's blood was five-hundredths of one percent (0.05%) or less, then you must find the defendant not to have been under the influence of alcohol, unless you find by other competent evidence, and beyond a reasonable doubt, that the (defendant's ability to drive a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol)/(defendant was under the influence of alcohol).

Statutory Authority: 47 0.8.2001, § 756.

Notes on Use
The second paragraph is for prosecutions for driving under the influence and the third paragraph is for prosecutions for driving while impaired.
Committee Comments
Section 756, as amended by the Legislature in 1972, sets forth the percent of alcohol in the blood which is evidence that the person (1) was not under the influence of alcohol; (2) was operating a motor vehicle with impaired ability; or, (8) was under the influence of alcohol. Section 11-902 punishes for the latter possibility, while section 756 creates a crime for the second possibility. Driving with impaired ability is a misdemeanor, although the fine is more harsh for second and subsequent of-fengses. Section 761 sets forth the punishment for the crime of driving a motor vehicle with impaired ability.
Under the literal terms of 47 0.8. Supp. 2002, § 11-902(A), the blood or breath alcohol concentration test must be administered within two hours after the defendant's arrest. Nevertheless, the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals decided in Sanders v. State, 2002 OK CR 42, 116-7, 60 P.3d 1048, 1051, that this requirement was not applicable in the cireumstances where a blood alcohol test was administered within two hours after a fatality accident in which the defendant could have been arrested at the scene, but was not arrested until approximately one month later.
Section 756 uses the word "operate," but in light of Bearden v. State, 1967 OK CR 138, 480 P.2d 844 and Parker v. State, 1967 OK CR 7, 424 P.2d 997 (OkLCr1967), indicating that "drive" and "operate" are synonymous, the Commission has used the word "drive" as an element to promote consistency in language among the various instructions.
The crime created by section 756 is a ' lesser included offense of the crime created by 47 O.S. 200% Supp.2002, § 11-902. Bernhardt v. State, 1986 OK CR 76, 13, 719 P.2d 832, 833 (OkLC¥.19868).

Notes on Use
This instruction is for use in felony misdemeanor prosecutions under 21 0.S. 1991 2001, $ 540A(A). OUJI-CR 62946-30 is for misdemeanor felony prosecutions under 21 0.8. 1991 2001, § 540A(B and C). "Peace officer" is defined in OUJI-CR 684 6-35.
Committee Comments
Section 540A of Title 21 was amended in 1981 by adding game rangers as a classification of officials who could be the subjects of evasive action by vehicle drivers. See Kellog v. State, 1988 OK CR 225, 762 P.2d 993 (Okl.Cr.1988) (affirming conviction for eluding game ranger). In addition, the maximum punishment by fine was increased from $1000 to $2000.
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed a conviction under section 540A even though the peace officer did not use a siren in Aldridge v. State, 1984 OK CR 7, 674 P.2d 553 (OlkM.C¥e1984). The officer's patrol vehicle was not equipped with a siren, because it had been recently purchased, and so the he flashed his emer-geney light and honked his horn at the defendant. There was also substantial evidence that the defendant knew that the person requesting her to stop was a peace officer. Under these circumstances, the Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that the prosecution met its burden of proof. Id. at TI 4, 674 P.2d at 558.
In Hayes v. State, 1977 OK CR 219, 566 P.2d 1172, the Court of Criminal Appeals held that the fact that the police officer temporarily lost sight of the defendant when the car the defendant was driving disappeared over a hill was insufficient evidence to establish that a change of drivers could have occurred. In the civil case of State ex rel. Oklahoma Dept. of Public Safety v. Ryan, 1978 OK CIV APP 47, 591 P.2d 1187 (Okl.App.1978), the Court of Appeals held that one violating the provisions of this statute must have acted intentionally and not through negligence. Section 540A contains a specific attempt provision. For this reason, the general attempt statute, 21 O.S. 1991 2001, § 44, is inapplicable. See Ex parte Smith, 95 Okl. Cr. 370, 246 P.2d 389 (1952).

DEFENSE OF - ENTRAPMENT-REQUIREMENTS

Where a person has no previous intent or purpose to violate the law, but is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers to commit a crime, he/she is entitled to the defense of entrapment, because the law as a matter of policy forbids a conviction in such a case.

On the other hand, where a person already has the readiness and willingness to break the law, the mere fact that a police officer provides what appears to be a favorable opportunity is no defense.

If you should find from the evidence that, before anything at all occurred respecting the alleged offense involved in this case, the defendant was ready and willing to commit a crime such as that charged in the information whenever opportunity was offered and the police merely offered the opportunity, the defendant is not entitled to the defense of entrapment.

If, on the other hand, you should find that the defendant had no previous intent or purpose to commit any offense of the character here charged, and did so only because he/she was induced or persuaded by some agent of the police, then the government has seduced an innocent person, and the defense of entrapment is a good defense.

Committee Comments
This instruction is substantially similar to that approved by the Court of Criminal Appeals in Robinson v. State, 1978 OK CR 152, 507 P.2d 1296 (Okl.Cr.1978), overruled on other grounds, Melnturff v. State, 1976 OK CR 226, 112, 554 P.2d 837, 841 (Okl.Cr.1976). Entrapment occurs when the planning and volitional conduct associated with an offense are entirely the products of an officer or a person acting under the direction of an officer, and the officer or his agent procures the commission of the offense by a person who, but for the artifice of the officer, would not have perpetrated it. Kiddie v. State, 1977 OK CR 301, 574 P.2d 1042 (Okl.Cr.1977); Dupree v. State, 1978 OK CR 58, 506 P.2d 974 (Okl.Cr.1973); McCart v. State, 1967 OK CR 222, 435 P.2d 419 (Okl.Cr.1967); Riddle v. State, 1962 OK CR 98, 374 P.2d 634 (Ok.Cr.1962); Crosbie v. State, 1958 OK CR 78, 330 P.2d 602 (Okl.Cr.1958); Savage v. State, 1956 OK CR 112, 304 P.2d 344 (Okl.Cr.1956); Bayouth v. State, 1956 OK CR 26, 294 P.2d 856 (Okl.Cr.1956); Lee v. State, 66 Okl. Cr. 899, 92 P.2d 621 (1939). See also Jacobson v. United States, 503 U.S. 540, 554 (1992) (prosecution was required to offer evidence of defendant's predisposition to commit-eriminal violate the law independent of the government's acts and beyond a reasonable doubt). Merely furnishing the defendant with an opportunity to commit a crime is not entrapment. Hunnicutt v. State, 1988 OK CR 91, ¶ 3, 755 P.2d 105, 107-08 (Okl.Cr.1988). The defense of entrapment is not available unless the officer or the person acting under his direction first suggested perpetration of the criminal act, or lured or persuaded the defendant to partake of the criminal conduct. Stevens v. State, 51 Ok1. Cr. 451, 2 P.2d 282 (1931); Warren v. State, 35 Okl.Cr. 430, 251 P. 101 (1926). The court has analyzed the availability of the entrapment defense as follows:
One who is instigated, induced, or lured by officer of law or other person, for purposes of prosecution, into commission of crime which he had otherwise no intention of committing may avail himself of the defense of entrapment. Principle of entrapment places no limitation on right of officers to obtain evidence of any crime originating in mind of another; and an officer may, when acting in good faith with view to detecting crime, make use of deception, trickery or artifice.
Robinson, supra, 1978 OK CR 152, 111, 507 P.2d at 1299 (citations omitted; emphasis in original), overruled on burden of proof, McInturff v. State, 1976 OK CR 226, 12, 554 P.2d 887, 841 (Okl.Cr.1976).
Where the evidence indicates that entrapment may have occurred, the issue concerning the existence of the requisite mental state to commit the crime charged is reserved to the jury. Slagel v. State, 1988 OK CR 284, 19, 766 P.2d 355, 357 (Okl.Cr.1988) ("A question of entrapment is generally one for the jury, rather than for the court."); Ryans v. State, 1966 OK CR 153, 420 P.2d 556 (Okl.Cr.1966).
The Court of Criminal Appeals discussed the defense of sentencing entrapment in Leech v. State, 2008 OK CR 4, 66 P.3d 987, and pointed out how OUJI-CR 8-25 should be modified if the defense of sentencing entrapment has been raised. It stated:
In a case where sufficient evidence is presented to raise the issue of sentence entrapment, this language must be modified to make it clear to the jury that the issue is whether or not the defendant, although intending to commit a lesser offense, has been entrapped into committing a greater offense. If the defendant bad no previous intent to commit the greater crime or did not become ready and willing to commit a greater crime during the course of the transaction, even though predisposed to commit the lesser crime, then a finding that law enforcement agents committed sentencing entrapment would require that the defendant be found not guilty of the greater crime, and guilty of the lesser offense.

DEFENSE OF VOLUNTARY INTOXICATION-REQUIREMENTS

The crime of [Crime Charged in Information/Indictment] has as an element the {specific criminal intent of [Specify Specific Mens Real)/{special-mental-element-of iHfy-Special-Mental-Statel). A person is entitled to the defense of voluntary intoxication if that person was incapable of forming the (specific criminal intent)/{special-mental-ele-the-erime) because of his/her intoxication.

Statutory Authority: 21 O.S. 1991 2001, §§ 158, 704.

Committee Comments
In contrast with several other defenses, insanity, for example, the defense of voluntary intoxication is primarily a mitigating, as opposed to an exeulpating, defense. In-texieation Voluntary intoxication is available as a defense only when the crime with which the defendant is charged has as its mens rea element a specific criminal intent or-a-special- mental-element. See Jones v. State, 1982 OK CR 112, ¶ 13, 648 P.2d 1251, 1255 (Okl.Cr.1982) ("Stated simply, voluntary intoxication is no defense to a crime, except to the extent that the intoxication rendered the defendant incapable of forming the necessary mental element."). Intoxication Voluntary intoxication is relevant to disprove the existence of a specific criminal intent or-a-special-mental-element and thereby the commission of the crime, but voluntary intoxication does not exeuse the defendant from criminal liability for a lesser included offense which does not have such a mens rea requirement. As stated in R. Perkins, Criminal Law 889 (2d ed.1969), "voluntary drunkenness is no excuse for an actus reus."
The above interpretation is that which the Court of Criminal Appeals has given to 21 O.S. 1991 2001, § 158. Huffman v. State, 24 Okl. Cr. 292, 217 P. 1070 (1923). Moreover, the court has interpreted 21 O.S. 1991 2001, § 704, to mean that a homicide is not automatically mitigated simply because of intoxication. As long as the homicide was committed with "malice aforethought," the crime is murder even though the defendant was drunk. However, if intoxication prevented the formation of the required specific intent to kill, then under section 158 intoxication would be a mitigating defense, and the defendant would be punishable for any appropriate lesser included offense. 21 0.8. 1991 2001, §§ 701.7, 701.8, 711.
The Court of Criminal Appeals has specifically ruled that the defense of intoxication is not available in murder cases. Perryman v. State, 1916 OK CR 76, 12 Okl. Cr. 500, 159 P. 987 (1916). See also Couch v. State, 1962 OK CR 130, 375 P.2d 978 (Okl.Cr.1962) (second degree burglary); Gower v. State, 1956 OK CR 49, 298 P.2d 461 (Okl.Cr.1956) (larceny of automotive driven vehicles); Kerr v. State, 1954 OK CR 131, 276 P.2d 284 (Okl.Cr.1954) (larceny of domestic animals); Walker v. State, 98 Okl. Cr. 251, 226 P.2d 998 (1951); Huffman, supra; Cheadle v. State, 1915 OK CR 59, 11 Okl. Cr. 566, 149 P. 919 (1915) (murder). Intoxiestion Voluntary intoxication should be available as a defense, however, as to any crime that has a specific criminal intent or-special-mental element as the mens rea requirement.
Voluntary intoxication is not a defense to the crime of rape, because rape does not have a specific criminal intent or-special mental-element mens rea requirement. Boyd v. State, 1977 OK CR 322, 572 P.2d 276 (Okl.Cr.1977); Kitchen v. State, 61 Okl. Cr. 435, 69 P.2d 411 (1937). Voluntary intoxication is not a defense to a crime having a general mens rea requirement, such as criminal negligence. R. Perkins, Criminal Law 900 (2d ed.1969).
It seems appropriate at this point to emphasize that insanity and voluntary intoxication are separate defenses, although both defenses may involve the effect of alcohol upon a person's mental abilities. Several cases have seemingly confused the two defenses beeause-of-confusion-on part-of-defense-counsel. Couch v. State, supra; Myers v. State, 83 Ok1. Cr. 177, 174 P.2d 395 (1946).
As stated above, voluntary intoxication is only a defense to a crime which has a specific mens rea or-special-mental-state as an element of the crime. The defendant is permitted to introduce evidence that his drunken state made it impossible for him to have formed the specific mens rea or special-mental-state required. If the evidence indicates that the drunkenness prevented the defendant from forming the specific mens rea or-special-mental-state necessary, then that element of the crime has not been established and, as a consequence, the crime itself has not been proved. Since the defendant was only in a temporary state of drunkenness, probably voluntarily induced, he is still subject to criminal liability for lesser included offenses contained within the crime charged. The defendant is still held accountable for these lesser included offenses which do not have a specific mens rea or-special-mental state as an element. In effect, the defendant claims that drunkenness prevented formation of the necessary mens rea of the crime charged, but does not claim that his mental faculties have been destroyed. In-toxieation Voluntary intoxication is, therefore, primarily a mitigating defense; i.e., it prevents conviction for certain crimes but does not entirely exculpate the defendant from eriminal Hability.
Insanity, by contrast, is an exeulpating defense. If a defendant can present evidence which establishes that he/she was insane at during the commission of the criminal act(s), the defendant is entirely free from criminal liability. The defendant claims that he/she is not accountable to the criminal law because his/her mental faculties were destroyed to such an extent that he cannot know right from wrong. The defendant claims that he/she was incapable of forming any mental state concerning the rightness or wrongness of his actions because of insanity at the time of the alleged crime.
Insanity may be brought about by numerous conditions, including chronic intoxication. A person can use aleohol so excessively and so continuously that eventually the aleohol destroys the mental faculties of the alcoholic. This condition, known as delirium tremens, thus serves as the underlying cause of insanity. When the defendant claims that his mental faculties have been destroyed by delirium tremens, the appropriate defense is the defense of insanity, not the defense of voluntary intoxication. Mott v. State, 94 Okl. Cr. 145, 232 P.2d 166 (1951).

DEFENSE OF VOLUNTARY INTOXICATION-BURDEN OF PROOF

It is the burden of the State to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant formed the {specific criminal intent) /{special-mental-element) of the crime of [Crime Charged in Information/Indictment]. If you find that the State has failed to sustain that burden, by reason of the intoxication of [Name of Defendant], then [Name of Defendant] must be found not guilty of [Crime Charged in Information/ Indictment]. You may find [Name of Defendant] guilty of [Lesser Included Offense], if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each element of the crime of [Lesser Included Offense].

Notes on Use
Unless the evidence of the prosecution has raised the issue, the defendant must come forward with evidence concerning intoxication in order to raise it as a defense. If the defendant fails to come forward with evidence of intoxication, or fails as a matter of law to come forward with sufficient evidence, the issue of intoxication is not raised in the trial, and the trial judge should not instruct on intoxication. See Charm v. State, 1996 OK CR 40, ¶ 11, 924 P.2d 754, 761 (Okl.Cr.1996). If the defendant presents sufficient evidence to raise the issue of intoxication, or if the evidence of the prosecution raises the issue of intoxication, the trial judge should instruct the jury on intoxication because the trial judge has a duty to instruct on the defendants defendant's theory of the case. No instructions on the defendant's burden to come forward with evidence, or on whether the defendant has presented sufficient evidence, are presented because these are questions of trial procedure and of law, which are beyond the legitimate concern of the jury.
Committee Comments
This instruction sets forth the appropriate burden of proof that rests upon the State. Kerr v. State, 1954 OK CR 131, 276 P.2d 284 (Okl.Cr.1954). It is drafted, however, to inform the jury very clearly that the defendant is to be acquitted only of the crime having a specific mens rea or-special mental-element, but not of a lesser included offense, if one exists, lacking such a mens rea requirement.

The use of the following instruction was approved in Oxzendine v. State, 1958 OK CR 104, 335 P.2d 940 (OLK.Czr.1958):

You are instructed that homicide committed with a design to effect death is not the less murder because the perpetrator was in a state of voluntary intoxication at the time. However, one of the elements of the crime of murder is an intent to effect the death of the person killed and if you find that the defendant at the time of the killing was so completely drunk as to be totally unable to form an intent to kill, or if you have a reasonable doubt thereof, you should not find the defendant guilty of murder. The homicide, under such cireumstances, unless - otherwise - exeusable, - would amount to manslaughter in the first degree.

Id. at 110, 385 P.2d at 940. See also Charm v. State, 1996 OK CR 40, 16, 924 P.2d 754, 774 (Lane, J., dissenting) (noting that Oxendine has been followed in three other cases).

RETURN OF VERDICT-PRIOR CONVICTIONS ADMITTED (SINGLE STAGE]

If you find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime of [Crime Charged], you shall return a verdict of guilty by marking the Verdict Form appropriately. If you have a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt to the charge of [Crime Charged], or you find that the State has failed to prove each element of [Crime Charged] beyond a reasonable doubt, you shall return a verdict of not guilty by marking the Verdiet Form appropriately.

The defendant has admitted that he/she has [Specify Number] previous convietion(s). You may not consider this/these previous conviction(s) as proof of guilt in the case before you. You may consider the previous conviction(s) for the purpose of determining the punishment if you find that the defendant is guilty of the crime of [Crime Charged] in the present case.

The punishment for [Crime Charged] after [Number] previous conviction(s) is imprisonment in the State penitentiary for a term of not-less/more-than-5/10/20 [Specify Term Provided in 21 0.8.2001 & Supp.2004, § 51.1(A), 51.1a, or 51.3] years.

Notes on Use
This instruction should be used if the defendant has waived bifurcation and admitted the prior convictions or the prior convictions were introduced by the prosecutor after the defendant took the stand. A Verdict Form to go with this instruction is provided in OUJI-CR 10-18, infra.
Committee Comments
The defendant may waive bifurcation expressly so that the jury will be made aware of the severity of punishment when it makes its determination of guilt. See Jones v. State, 1974 OK CR 172, 18, 527 P.2d 169, 1783 (waiver of bifurcation is within the discretion of the trial court), overruled on other grounds, Fulton v. State, 1975 OK CR 200, 14, 541 P.2d 871, 872. But cf. Lenion v. State, 1988 OK CR 230, 763 P.2d 381 (no waiver if defendant merely fails to request bifurcation). See also Eslinger v. State, 1987 OK CR 58, 1 19, 734 P.2d 880, 884 (defendant not entitled to bifurcated trial if he confessed to former convictions under oath); Ray v.

RETURN OF VERDICT-PRIOR - CONVICTIONS - CONTESTED (SECOND STAGE)

By your verdict in the first part of this trial you have already found the defendant guilty of the crime of [Crime Charged]. You must now determine the proper punishment.

The defendant has been charged with having previously been convicted of: [List Prior Convictions]. The law presumes that the defendant has NOT been previously conviet-ed as the State has charged. You may consider the previous conviction(s) only if the State has proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. The fact of the conviction(s); and
2. That the defendant is the same person who was previously convicted.

The punishment for [Crime Charged] after 2 [or more] previous convictions is imprisonment in the State penitentiary for a term of not-less-than-20 [Specify Term Provided in 21 O.S8. Supp.2004, $ 51.1(B) or (C) ] years.
