The Tennessee Court Talk podcast recently sat down with three members of the Tennessee Judicial Conference Pattern Jury Instructions Criminal Committee to discuss how the pattern instructions are developed, how changes are incorporated each year, and tips for both judges and attorneys for modifying instructions and giving instructions to the jury. Guests include Judge Chris Craft of Shelby County, Judge Dee David Gay of Sumner County, and Judge Mark Ward of Shelby County.
