H.R.S. §712-1209.5 – (When Defendant Stipulates to Prior Convictions)
[In Count (count number) of the Indictment/Complaint, the]
[The] Defendant, (defendant’s name), is charged with the offense of Solicitation of Prostitution. A person commits the offense of Solicitation of Prostitution if, he/she had two or more predicate convictions within ten years of the instant offense and he/she [pays]
[agrees to pay] [offers to pay] a fee to another person to engage in sexual conduct.
There are three material elements of the offense of Solicitation of Prostitution, each of which the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
These three elements are:
1. That on or about (date) in the [City and] County of (name of county), the Defendant had two or more predicate convictions within ten years of the instant offense; and
2. That the Defendant [paid] [agreed to pay] [offered to pay] a fee to another person to engage in sexual conduct; and
3. That the Defendant acted intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly as to each of the foregoing elements.
Notes H.R.S. § 712-1209.5 For the basis of the applicable state of mind see H.R.S. § 702-204. For definition of states of mind, see instructions: For definition of “sexual conduct,” see H.R.S. § 712- 1200(2) For definition of terms defined by H.R.S. Chapter 707, see instructions: When the Defendant stipulates to element 1 and the state of mind applicable to it, this instruction and instruction Consistent with State v. Murray, 116 Hawai`i 3, 169 P.3d 955 (2007), the offense is referred to in the body of the instruction as “Solicitation of Prostitution” rather than
“Habitual Solicitation of Prostitution.” See notes accompanying instruction 13.00A.5B. The court should consider obtaining, on the record, the Defendant’s consent to the omission of the term “habitual” from references to the title of the offense in the instructions or otherwise during the trial. as to Prior Conviction Element and Applicable State of Mind; Limiting Instruction: H.R.S. § 712-1209.5 The Defendant and the prosecution have stipulated, and you must therefore accept as proved beyond a reasonable doubt that, on (insert date of charged offense), the Defendant (Defendant’s name) had two or more predicate convictions within ten years of the instant offense, and that the Defendant acted intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly as to those convictions. You must not consider this stipulation for any other purpose.
Notes This instruction and instruction 13.00A.5A should be given whenever the Defendant stipulates to the prior convictions that comprise the attendant circumstance element of the offense and the state of mind applicable to that element. The court should also consider giving variations of instructions 3.06 (stipulations) and 4.01 (evidence admitted for a limited purpose) immediately after the stipulation is read to the jury. See State v. Murray, 116 Hawai`i 3, 169 P.3d 955 (2007) (“failure to allow the defendant to use the stipulation procedure would not be considered harmless error”). Under Murray, if the defense requests the stipulation procedure: (1) the defendant should be allowed to stipulate to the fact of the required prior convictions; (2) the stipulation may be accepted only after engaging the defendant in an on-the-record colloquy to ensure a knowing and voluntary waiver of his/her right to have the “prior conviction element” proved beyond a reasonable doubt and decided by a jury; (3) the jury should be instructed that the defendant has stipulated to this particular element of the charged offense to make it plain that this element is considered proved beyond a reasonable doubt; (4) the instruction must be carefully crafted to omit any reference to the “name or nature” of the previous convictions; (5) the instruction should ensure that the prior convictions are not considered by the jury for any purpose other than conclusively establishing the “prior convictions element;” and (6) the court must preclude any mention of the name or nature of the prior convictions at any point during the trial, i.e., jury selection, opening statements, presentation of evidence, closing arguments, or instructions. Consistent with (4) and (6) of the Murray requirements enumerated above, in the body of this instruction (and instruction 13.00A.5A as well), the offense is referred to as
“Solicitation of Prostitution” rather than “Habitual Solicitation of Prostitution.” H.R.S. §712-__
