To prove the first element, the Commonwealth does not have to prove that the official document was actually disclosed to someone else, but only that there was an attempt to pass it on, even if the defendant failed. To prove the second element, the Commonwealth must only be able to prove that part of the official document has been falsified, not everything. And to prove the fourth element, the Commonwealth must be able to identify the person the defendant was trying to defraud. In the United States, utterance is the act of offering a forged document to another if the supplier knows that the document is tampered with.

The Massachusetts Free Speech Act is a simultaneous crime rather than a misdemeanor and is codified in MGL v. 267, § 5-6.

In the law of countries whose legal systems are derived from English common law, pronunciation is a crime of counterfeiting. Declarations and falsifications were at the origin of the ordinary offences, both offences. Forgery was the creation of a forged document with the intention of cheating; whereas the declaration was only the use – the transmission – of a falsified document that someone else had made with the intention of cheating. In law, enunciation is synonymous with publication, and the distinction between common law offences was that counterfeiting was the manufacture of an infringing instrument (with intent to cheat) and the statement was the publication of that instrument (with the intent to cheat). Today, legal offences of counterfeiting replace ordinary offences and often encompass the offence of expression, and where the distinction exists, forgery is usually a crime rather than a misdemeanor. [1] [2] Enunciation is a crime that involves the transmission or use of a forged document, such as writing a forged cheque. The crimes of expression and forgery are closely linked, and we often find that both are accused in the same complaint or accusation.

Statements and falsifications were both common law offences derived from English and American common law. Counterfeiting is the creation and production of a document with the intent to defraud, while pronunciation is the transmission or publication of a forged document created by someone else with the intent to defraud. The declaration is the publication of the falsified document. “Pronounce” means and includes the use or attempted use of a forged document to incite a particular person or entity.
