Court back on the record. Judge going over final charge before jury comes back. #arochitrial

Remember, jury not in room yet.

Defense objects to use of term "terrorize" in jury charge and asks for definition to be included for jury #arochitrial


Uh, yah, I have no idea what "terrorize" means, so better define it for me.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

I think a lot of this is being done so defense can say they crossed t's and dotted I's.
Don't want to be accused of ineffective counsel in appeal. Moo
