@chancerydaily Is that a typical number and type of instructions given the complexity of the case?

@Dimestorehalo it seems on point with a case of this size and scope and many/most of the instructions are based on model instructions — but stepping back, it's quite amazing to think about the magnitude of what a juror in this case is truly being asked to do, how much of their life they are being asked to give to take seriously these requirements and requests, to fully grok the law and not just half-ass this.

@chancerydaily My first undergrad degree was in accounting, and after about 20 pages in on the instructions, I did the step-back and half-assed it. The jurors are basically being asked to take an advanced finance class as well as the law. I don't know that I would be up to it.
