Jury instructions tell the jury what the laws are that govern a particular case. Each attorney gives the judge a set of proposed jury instructions. The judge considers each instruction and gives the one that properly states the law that applies to the case.
Limiting instructions are used when, as is often the case, the rules of evidence make par- ticular testimony or a particular exhibit inadmissible, but only for a particular, forbidden purpose, or only against certain parties and not against others.
(1) Members of the jury, now it is time for me to instruct you about the law you must follow in deciding this case. (2) I will start by explaining your duties and the general rules that apply in every criminal case. (3) Then I will explain the elements of the crimes that the defendant is accused of committing.
The judge issues a judges charge to inform the jury how to act in deciding a case. The jury instructions provide something of a flowchart on what verdict jurors should deliver based on what they determine to be true. Put another way, If you believe A (set of facts), you must find X (verdict).
(B) Special jury instructions, meaning instructions from other sources, those specially prepared by the party, or approved instructions that have been substantially modified by the party.

Necessity legally excuses the crime charged. The defendant must prove necessity by a preponderance of the evidence. A preponderance of the evidence means that you must be persuaded that the things the defendant seeks to prove are more probably true than not true.
The judge reads the instructions to the jury. This is commonly referred to as the judges charge to the jury. In giving the instructions, the judge will state the issues in the case and define any terms or words that may not be familiar to the jurors.
In proposing jury instructions, the parties have an opportunity to persuade the trial court to present their view of the law or theory of the case. In this respect, crafting and proposing instructions requires a deep under- standing of the governing law, as much so as argu- ing a summary judgment or post-trial motion.
