T.P.I. -- CRIM. 11.03

FIXING VALUE

            If you find the defendant guilty of this offense beyond a reasonable doubt, you must go further and fix the range of value of the [property] [services].

            (A) Value is:

                        (1)  the fair market value of the [property] [services] at the time and

                               place of the offense; or

                        (2)  if the fair market value of the property cannot be ascertained,

                               the cost of replacing the property within a reasonable time after

                               the offense.¹

            [(B) The value of documents, other than those having a readily

                   ascertainable fair market value, is:

                        (1)  the amount due and collectible at maturity less any part that

                               has been satisfied, if the document constitutes evidence of a

                               debt; or

                        (2)  the greatest amount of economic loss that the owner might

                               reasonably suffer by virtue of loss of the document, if the

                               document is other than evidence of a debt.]²

            [(C) If the [property] [service] has value that cannot be ascertained by the

                   criteria set forth in parts (A) or (B), the property or service is deemed

                   to have a value of less than fifty dollars ($50).]³

            [(D) If the defendant gave consideration for or had a legal interest in the

                   [property] [services] which [is] [are] the object of the offense, the

                   amount of consideration or value of the interest shall be deducted

                   from the value of the [property] [services] ascertained under part (A),

                   (B), or (C) to determine value.⁴]

            The state has the burden of proving this value beyond a reasonable doubt as defined in these instructions.

            The jury will fix the value of the property or services obtained along with its verdict by indicating which of the following ranges the value falls within:

            1.  Five hundred dollars ($500) or less;

            2.  More than five hundred dollars ($500), but less than one thousand

                 dollars ($1,000);

            3.  One thousand dollars ($1,000) or more, but less than ten thousand

                 dollars ($10,000);

            4.  Ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more, but less than sixty thousand

                        dollars ($60,000);

            5.  Sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) or more.⁵
