3. “To convict the defendant of the crime of assault in the third degree, each of the following elements of the crime must he proved beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) That on or about the 6th day of December, 1995, the defendant BERTHA A. FILBECK assaulted DEPUTY BOB LANGENDORFER OF PACIFIC COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE; (2) That at the time of the assault DEPUTY BOB LANGE-NDORFER was a law enforcement officer or other employee of a law enforcement agency who was performing his or her official duties; and (3) That the acts occurred in the State of Washington, County of Pacific. If you find from the evidence that each of these elements has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. On the other hand, if, after weighing all the evidence, you have a reasonable doubt as to any one of these elements, then it will be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.”
