You must not infer from these instructions or from anything I may say or do as indicating that I have an opinion regarding the evidence or what your verdict should be. lt is your duty to find the facts from all the evidence in the case. To those facts you wil apply the law as I give it to you. You must follow the law as I give it to you whether you agree with it or not. And you must not be influenced by any personal likes or dislikes, opinions, prejudices, or sympathy. That means that you must decide the case solely on the evidence before you. You wil recall that you took an oath to do so. In following my instructions, you must follow all of them and not single out some and ignore others; they are all important. Ninth Circuit Model Civil Jury Instruction NO.1. 1 B (2007) Page - 5 JOINT PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTIONS PLAINTIFF'S REQUESTED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 14 Unreasonable Seizure of Person - Unlawful Arrest In general, a seizure of a person by arrest without a warrant is reasonable if the arresting offcers had probable cause to believe the plaintiff has committed or was committing a crime. In order to prove the seizure in this case was unreasonable, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that she was alTested without probable cause. "Probable cause" exists when, under all of the circumstances known to the officers at the time, an objectively reasonable police offcer would conclude there is a fair probability that the plaintiff has committed or was committing a crime. Under state law, it is a crime to assault a public safety officer. A person commits the crime of assaulting a public safety officer if the person intentionally or knowingly causes physical injury to the other person, knowing the other person to be a peace officer, corrections officer, youth cOlTection officer, parole and probation officer, animal control officer, firefighter or staff member, and while the other person is acting in the course of official duty. "Physical injury" means impairment of physical condition or substantial pain and excludes pain that is fleeting or inconsequentiaL. Under state law, a person commits the crime of resisting arrest if the person intentionally resists a person known to be a police officer in making an arrest. A person cannot use physical force to resist an alTest by a police officer, even if the alTest is unlawfuL. If, however, Plaintiff reasonably believed that the officers arresting her were using more physical force than was necessar to make the arrest, then Plaintiff was entitled to use physical force in self-defense. In defending, Plaintiff was entitled to use only that degree of physical force that she reasonably believed to be necessary to defend herself against what she believed to be the excessive force. I instruct you that the Defendants did not have probable cause to alTest Plaintifffor the cited crimes of theft II, furnishing alcohol to a minor, and harassment. Page - 20 JOINT PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTIONS Plaintiff's Instructions includes the 9th Cir. Model Instruction for a probable cause arrest and, as the model instructions provide, includes the elements ofthe crimes for which probable cause must have existed for the arrest. This instruction also limits the jury from considering whether probable cause existed for the other cited crimes as the court has already determined that Defendants lacked probable cause for those three crimes. Ninth Cir. Model Jury Instruction 9.20 (2007)(modified); ORS 163.208; ORS 161.015(7); State v. Poole, 175 Or.App. 258, 28 P.3d 643,645 App., 2001); Uniform Criminal Jury Instruction No. 1225 (modified); Uniform Criminal Jury Instruction No. 1227 (modified); ORS 161.260 Page - 21 JOINT PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTIONS DEFENDANTS' REQUESTED JURY INSTRUCTION NO. 14 Unreasonable Seizure of Person - Unlawful Arrest In her first claim, plaintiff has the burden to prove that the acts of defendants Officer Chris Freeman and Michael Hanada deprived the plaintiff of rights under the United States Constitution. In this claim, plaintiff alleges the defendants deprived her of her rights under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution by arresting her without probable cause to believe that she had committed a cnme. In general, a seizure of a person by alTest without a walTant is reasonable if the alTesting officer had probable cause to believe the plaintiff has committed or was committing a crime. In order to prove the seizure in this case was reasonable, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that she was arrested without probable cause. Probable cause to arrest exists if the facts and circumstances within the knowledge of the arresting offcer, in light of his training and experience, would leave such offcer to believe that the suspect has probably committed a crime. Probable cause does not require that the arresting officer has evidence sufficient to prove a suspect's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; rather, the officer must have a reasonable belief in the suspect's guilt. I instruct you that if you find that plaintiff slapped Offcer Freeman's hand, then there was probable cause to arrest plaintiff for assaulting a public safety officer.
