NOTE ON USE
Use this instruction if it will help the jury understand the charged offense or if it is necessary to define this particular offense for the jury. See the Comment to WPIC 4.24 (Definition of the Crime—Form.)
Use bracketed material as applicable. If there is a stipulation between the parties regarding an element of the offense, particular care must be taken to modify this instruction, as necessary, to reflect the terms of the stipulation.
With this instruction, use WPIC 10.02 (Knowledge—Knowingly—Definition).
COMMENT
RCW 9A.44.130; RCW 9A.44.132.
RCW 9A.44.132 provides, in part, that a person commits the crime of failure to register if a person has a duty to register and fails to comply with “any of the requirements” of RCW 9A.44.130. The WPI Committee has not included the phrase “any of the requirements” in the instruction, because it may be confusing to jurors who are instructed as to only the specific registration requirements the State alleges have been violated.
