Uttering a forged instrument
The rule
Uttering is offering as genuine a writing known to be forged, with intent to defraud. The instrument need not be accepted; presentation is sufficient. Forgery and uttering are separate offenses and may be charged together.
In plain English
Forgery is making the fake; uttering is passing it. Handing a forged check to a teller — even if she rejects it — completes uttering.
