Model, standard, and pattern instructions are not binding, so a trial court may modify them as necessary to fit the circumstances of the case. A court will often reject parties proposed jury instructions if there are model instructions available on the topic, in an effort to avoid bias or manipulation.
Preliminary instructions occur at the beginning of a trial and typically inform the jury on the basics of reviewing evidence and other responsibilities. During the trial, courts may give limiting instructions that inform jurors how to evaluate specific evidence and curative instructions to correct evidentiary errors.
(d) Objections to Instructions. A party who objects to any portion of the instructions or to a failure to give a requested instruction must inform the court of the specific objection and the grounds for the objection before the jury retires to deliberate.
The court found that the distribution of written instructions to the jury is not expressly authorized by law, and error in such submissions cannot be deemed harmless, meaning that providing the instructions would result in a conviction being overturned.
For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).

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.
Jury instructions are given to the jury by the judge, who usually reads them aloud to the jury. The judge issues a judges charge to inform the jury how to act in deciding a case.
