“Concealment by the defendant,, after the events charged in the Indictment, does not create a presumption of guilt. You may consider evidence of concealment, however, as tending to prove the defendant’s consciousness of guilt. You are not required to do so. You may consider and weigh evidence of concealment by the defendant in connection with all the other evidence.”
