Discussion of self defense instruction. If self defense on charge is found should jury ignore lessor offenses. prosecutor objects.

Awesome, and correct. Good news is that if the jury acquits, the prosecution cannot appeal the instructions, or any other alleged error committed by the judge. That's the end of it.

Can’t the feds pull the “deprived of civil rights” card out of their butts like they often do? Thus making a mockery of double jeopardy?

” Good news is that if the jury acquits, the prosecution cannot appeal the instructions, or any other alleged error committed by the judge. That’s the end of it.”

Defense has one item in the instructions that they are objecting to ‘on the record’.

Not sure if ‘objecting’ is the correct term.
