• Update: February 2022

  Dear Subscriber:

  Thank you for keeping your copy of Criminal Model Jury Instructions for Use in the District Court current with this 2022 supplement. The District Court Committee on Criminal Proceedings has prepared a number of new and revised criminal model jury instructions. Among these are new instructions for drug offenses which carve out marijuana from the other controlled substances. This allowed the committee to address the exemptions that apply to marijuana without interfering with the instructions needed for cases involving controlled substances other than marijuana.

  Included in this 2022 supplement are fourteen new and eight revised instructions included in Transmittal No. 1341, dated November 22, 2021. These include:

  • a new COVID-19 Supplemental Impanelment Instruction (1.105);

  • new and revised instructions on Evaluation of Evidence ;

  • new instructions on Offenses Against the Person ;

  • new and revised instructions on Public Order Offenses ;

  • new and revised instructions on Firearms and Weapons Offenses ;

  • new and revised instructions on Drug Offenses ; and

  • a revised instruction on Larceny Offenses .

  Also included in this supplement are three new and five revised instructions issued prior to Transmittal No. 1341 and subsequent to the last printed supplement in June 2019. These include:

  • new and revised instructions on Offenses Against the Person ;

  • revised instructions on Abuse-Related Offenses ; and

  • a new instruction on Drug Offenses .

  It is Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education's privilege to publish this material in collaboration with the District Court Committee on Criminal Proceedings.

• Update: June 2018

  Dear Subscriber:

  Enclosed are new and updated model jury instructions for use in criminal cases in Massachusetts District Court.

  The District Court Committee on Criminal Proceedings has created the following new instructions:

  • 3.230 ("Transferred Intent").

  • 3.570 ("Redactions").

  • 7.365 ("Intentionally misleading an investigator in a criminal investigation"). This instruction is tailored to this specific provision of G.L. c. 268, § 13B, which is commonly encountered in the District Court. The full instruction for intimating a witness, juror, court official or law enforcement officer in violation of G.L. c. 268, § 13B, remains at Instruction 7.360.

  The Committee has also revised the following instructions:

  • 3.560 ("Confessions and admissions (Humane Practice)"). This instruction was revised to include factors for the jury's consideration regarding the voluntariness of a defendant's statement in the body of the instruction. It also now includes reference to the absence of a complete recording of the defendant's statement as a factor for the jury to consider.

  • 5.310 ("Operating under the influence of intoxicating liquor"). A supplemental "Downs" instruction has been inserted and notes, consistent with, Commonwealth v. Wolfe, 478 Mass. 142 (2017), that such an instruction may only be given if the defendant requests it.

  • 6.500 ("Indecent assault and battery"). Supplemental instructions were added for cases in which the defendant directs the victim to touch the defendant or when the defendant touches the victim with his or her own private part. The instruction also eliminated the requirement that the Commonwealth prove that the victim was over the age of fourteen in addition to proving lack of consent.

  • 6.520 ("Indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14"). Supplemental instructions were added for cases in which the defendant directs the victim to touch the defendant or when the defendant touches the victim with his or her own private part.

  • 7.360 ("Intimidating a witness, juror, court official or law enforcement officer"). This instruction was revised to reflect the changes to the statute made by the Criminal Justice Reform Act, St. 2018, c. 69, namely, that an act committed in retaliation for past participation in a criminal investigation or court proceeding can now be charged as a crime under § 13B; the elimination of the category of persons protected by the statute who "further[ed] a civil or criminal proceeding … of any type"; and the addition of the following categories of persons protected by the statute: a person who is or was aware of information, records, documents, or objects that relate to a violation of a court order; victim witness advocate; correction officer; court reporter; court interpreter; and family member of a person described in the section.

  It is Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education's privilege to publish this material in collaboration with the District Court Committee on Criminal Proceedings. We trust that you will find this 2018 supplementary material for Criminal Model Jury Instructions for Use in the District Court to be instructive in your courtroom practice and useful in your library research.

Rivera , 460 Mass. 139, 142 (2011); Commonwealth v. Sullivan , 84 Mass. App. Ct. 26, 27, rev. granted limited to other issues , 466 Mass. 1109 (2013).

  • 6.740 ("Violation of a Harassment Prevention Order"), amending the supplemental instruction on the meaning of "harass" to reflect St. 2010, c. 239, §§ 71–72, which changed statutory language regarding a "mentally retarded person" to a "person with an intellectual disability."
