405.8 Issues on Plaintiff's Claim - Plaintiff a Private Individual and a Media Defendant The issues for you to decide on the claim of (claimant) against (defendant) are: whether (defendant) [published] [broadcast] the statement concerning (claimant) as (claimant) claims; and, if so, whether (defendant)'s statement concerning (claimant) was in some significant respect a false statement of fact[*] and [tended to expose (claimant) to hatred, ridicule, or contempt] [or] [tended to injure (claimant) in his business, reputation, or occupation] [or] [charged that (claimant) committed a crime]; and, if so, whether (defendant) was negligent in making that statement. A statement is in some significant respect false if its substance or gist conveys a materially different meaning than the truth would have conveyed. In making this determination, you should consider the context in which the statement is made and disregard any minor inaccuracies that do not affect the substance of the statement. If the greater weight of the evidence does not support (claimant)'s claim on these issues, then your verdict should be for (defendant). However, if the greater weight of the evidence supports (claimant)'s claim on these issues, then your verdict should be for (claimant) and against (defendant).
