Jury Instructions

All proposed jury instructions (with authorities) are to be exchanged between government and defense counsel and filed with the court by the first day of trial. Such filings should also include an MS Word or WordPerfect copy of the instructions emailed as an attachment to Sharp_Chambers@innd.uscourts.gov or on a 3.5 floppy disk in the same format. Emailing the instructions as an attachment is preferred.

Judge Sharp will prepare a tentative set of jury instructions and settle the same on the record in open court after both sides have rested their case in chief.
