A quick definition of jury direction:

Jury direction, also known as jury instruction, is guidance given by a judge to a jury about the law of a case. It helps the jury understand what they need to consider when making a decision. Sometimes, the jury may ask for additional instruction or clarification on a point of law. There are different types of instructions, such as mandatory instructions that require the jury to find for one party based on a set of facts, and cautionary instructions that tell the jury to disregard certain evidence or not be influenced by outside factors. Model jury instructions are standardized statements of the law that are often used in typical cases.

A more thorough explanation:

Jury direction, also known as jury instruction, is a guideline that a judge gives to a jury about the law of the case. It helps the jury understand the legal principles that apply to the case and how to apply them when making a decision.

  • Additional instruction: If the jury has a question about the evidence or a point of law, the judge may give an additional instruction to clarify the issue.
  • Mandatory instruction: If the jury determines that a given set of facts exists, the judge may give a mandatory instruction requiring the jury to find for one party and against the other.
  • Model jury instruction: A state bar association may provide a form jury charge for typical cases, which courts usually accept as authoritative.

These examples illustrate how jury direction can be used in different situations to help the jury understand the law and make a fair decision.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
