Thanks Scion - Here is a quote from the link:

Special Intentional Flight

Intentional flight by a person after a crime has been committed is not,of course, sufficient in itself to establish the guilt of that person, but intentional flight under those circumstances is a fact which, if proved, maybe considered by the jury in light of all the other evidence in the case in determining the guilt or innocence of that person.Whether or not the defendant’s conduct constituted flight is exclusively for you, as the jury, to determine. And if you do so determine that flight showed a consciousness of guilt on the defendant’s part, the significance to be attached to that evidence is also a matter exclusively for you as a jury to determine.I do remind you that in your consideration of any evidence of flight, if you should find that there was flight, you should consider that there may be reasons for this which are fully consistent with innocence. And, may I suggest to you that a feeling of guilt does not necessarily reflect actual guilt of a crime which you may be considering
