(E) Making a False Statement to a Federal Agency
-Defendant is charged with making a false statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of a government agency. It is against federal law to make a false statement in a matter within the jurisdiction of a government agency. For you to find the defendant guilty of this crime you must be convinced that the government has proven each of these things beyond a reasonable doubt:
-First, that [defendant] knowingly made a material false statement;
-Second, that [defendant] made the statement with their own will; and
-Third, that [defendant] made the statement in a [e.g., U.S. Customs declaration].
-A false statement is made "knowingly" if the defendant knew that it was false or demonstrated a reckless disregard for the truth with a conscious purpose to avoid learning the truth.
-A statement is "material" if it has a natural tendency to influence or to be capable of influencing the decision of the decisionmaker to which it was addressed, regardless of whether the agency actually relied upon it.
-A statement is "false" if it was untrue when made.
