Revised deadly-force and non-deadly-force jury instructions
The court distributed paper instructions incorporating revisions discussed earlier on Day 10 and reviewed the deadly-force and non-deadly-force provisions with counsel. The revisions retained prior-threat and known-specific-act language but removed reputation paragraphs, with a remaining paragraph corrected to address relative physical abilities and capacities.
