Points and Authorities
This Court Has The Power And Duty To Grant This Instruction Request—[See CALCRIM Motion Bank # CCM-001.]
Definition Should Be Included In Element—It is unnecessarily cumbersome and potentially confusing to define an element using a term that actually means something else as defined in separate instructions not included in the element language. (See FORECITE F 417.5 Inst 2.)
WARNING! Federal constitutional claims may be lost without proper federalization.—To preserve federal claims, counsel should add the applicable constitutional provisions and authority to the above points and authorities and explain how those provisions will be violated under the circumstances of this case. Potential constitutional grounds for this request include, but are not limited to:
FORECITE CG 2.2 [Burden Of Proof: Elements And Essential Facts]
FORECITE CG 4.1 [Right To Instruct The Jurors On Defense Theories]
In death penalty cases additional, federal claims should be added including, but not limited to, those in FORECITE CG 13.
