gave the following instruction in Illinois

1984People v. Williams (1973), 14 Ill.

1978Over the objection of Robert Hunter, the court gave the following instruction on accountability: “The court instructs the jury that if there was evidence that a defendant voluntarily attached himself to a group bent on illegal acts with knowledge of its design, there is an inference that he shared a common purpose and this will sustain his conviction of the principal for a crime committed by another in furtherance of the venture.” The instruction properly stated the law (People v. Hill (1968), 39 Ill. 2d 125 , 233 N.E.2d 367 , cert, denied (1969), 392 U.S. 936 , 23 L.

1976(People v. Pignatelli, 405 Ill. 302 , 90 N.E.2d 761 .) We conclude that the use of the word “sale” rather than “delivery” in the verdict form was not error because the words are nearly synonymous and, more importantly, the import of the word “sale” is inclusive of that of the word “delivery.” As to possession, we note that the court gave the following instruction: “To sustain the charge of obscenity, the State must prove the following propositions: First: That the defendant sold, delivered or provided, or offered or agreed to sell, deliver, or provide, an obscene writing, record, or other pres

1976(Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557 , 22 L.

1970If you find from your consideration of all the evidence that each of these propositions has been proved, then your verdict should be for the plaintiffs, but, if, on the other hand, you find from your consideration of all the evidence that any of these propositions has not been proved, then your verdict should be for the defendant.” (Defendant’s Instruction No. 9.) Plaintiff’s given instruction 17 quoted above, is a paraphrase of the court’s language in Suvada v. White Motor Co., 32 Ill2d 612, 210 NE2d 182 .

1955At the request of the defendant the court gave the following instruction: “You are instructed that a certain Ordinance of the City of Chicago in full force and effect at the time of the occurrence complained of, provided among other things as follows: “ ‘Subject to the provisions of this chapter, the operator of a vehicle shall give the right of way to the operator of a vehicle approaching along an intersecting street from the right, and shall have the right of way over those approaching from the left.’ “If you believe from the evidence under the instructions of the court, that at the time and

1955App. 42 , where the court says: “The instruction in substance and effect placed no duty whatever on the defendant and told the jury that the defendant’s car had the right of way regardless of its speed and what distance it was away from the intersection when .the plaintiff’s car entered the intersection.” (Citing Salmon v. Wilson, 227 Ill.

1932Co. v. Storment, 190 Ill. 42, 45 , the court gave the following instruction: “Although you may believe, from the evidence, that the plaintiff jumped or stepped from the train in question after it was in motion, whereby she received the injuries complained of, yet if you further believe, from the evidence, that while the plaintiff was descending the steps of said train the same was suddenly, carelessly and without warning to her set in motion by the defendant, and that the plaintiff was thereby placed in a perilous position, then it is for you to determine, from the evidence, whether the plaint

1922The proponents having shown the execution of the will and the sanity of the testator by the proof required by the statute were entitled to the benefit of the legal presumption of sanity, (Craig v. Southard, 162 Ill. 209 ,) and if the evidence on that question were only sufficient to raise a doubt or were equally balanced, such presumption would require a determination of the question in favor of sanity.

1922(Rucker v. People, 224 Ill. 131 .) Relating to that subject the court gave the following instruction: “The court instructs the jury that while the law requires that in order to prove the crime of rape, it must appear from the evidence that force was used and that the complaining witness resisted or made an outcry, still, if you believe from the evidence that she was paralyzed by fear, she would not be expected to make resistance or outcry; and if the superiority of defendants’ strength over hers was very great, she might not be able to make effectual resistance, or if so remote from all human

1922The court gave the following instruction at the request of the defendants in error: “The court instructs the jury that to justify a finding that the testator is not of sound mind and memory in the making of a will, the evidence must preponderate in favor of unsoundness of mind, and the presumption of sanity must prevail, if the evidence is only sufficient to raise a doubt as to such sanity.” This is substantially the same as the thirteenth instruction which was approved in Grace v. Grace, 270 Ill. 558 .

1908Complaint is made because the court gave the following instruction at the instance of appellee: “If the jury find from the evidence that the plaintiff has made out her case by a preponderance of the evidence, as alleged in the declaration, then the jury should find the defendant guilty.” In U. S. Brewing Co. v. Stoltenberg, Admr., 211 Ill. 531 , the court gives a long list of cases in which it has approved this instruction in form and substance.

1903For the support of that position the case of Illinois Steel Co. v. Novak, 184 Ill. 501 , and Chicago & Alton R.

1902Co., 83 Ill.

1901The court gave the following instruction for defendant: “ If the jury believe from the evidence that the defendant performed labor and services for the plaintiff, at his request, and that no price was fixed or agreed upon, then the law will imply a promise from the plaintiff to pay the defendant for such xvork and labor what the same are reasonably worth.” It is argued that this instruction was erroneous for the reasons stated in disposing of a similar instruction in Gorrell v. Payson, 170 Ill. 213 .

1886The adjective “ credible,” is often used in such instructions, sometimes the term “ unobjectionable ” and sometimes “ unimpeached.” Crabtree v. Hagenbaugh, 25 Ill. 233 ; Yundt v. Hartrunft, 41 Ill. 9 ; McClure v. Williams, 65 Ill. 390 ; Rider v. The People, 110 Ill. 11 ; Quinn v. Rawson, 5 Ill.

1872On the trial the court gave the following instruction to the jury: “ The jury are instructed that they are only to inquire into the title of the public to that part of the road in controversy which is charged to have been obstructed; conditioned that the jury believe, from the evidence, that it is part of a road running from Bath to Chandlerville, as charged in the indictment.” This instruction was erroneous, under the authority of the cases of Martin v. People, 23 Ill. 395 , and Town of Lewiston v. Proctor, 27 Ill. 414 .
