A quick definition of jury instruction:

Term: Jury Instruction

Definition: When a trial is held in court, the judge gives instructions to the jury about the law that applies to the case. These instructions are called jury instructions. They help the jury understand what they need to consider when deciding if the defendant is guilty or not guilty. Jury instructions are important because they ensure that the jury makes their decision based on the law and not just their personal opinions or feelings.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Jury instructions are directions given by a judge to a jury before they begin deliberating on a case. These instructions explain the law that applies to the case and how the jury should apply the law to the facts presented during the trial.

Example: In a criminal trial, the judge may give the jury instructions on the elements of the crime the defendant is charged with, the burden of proof, and the standard of evidence required for a conviction. The judge may also instruct the jury on how to evaluate witness testimony and how to weigh the evidence presented.

Explanation: Jury instructions are important because they help ensure that the jury understands the law and how to apply it to the facts of the case. Without clear instructions, the jury may not be able to make an informed decision. The example given shows how jury instructions can be used in a criminal trial to guide the jury in their decision-making process.
