The other thing I wanted to ask the Court was on your verdict forms on your lesser included, I would ask the Court to include also the lesser included on Page 101 of the improper exhibition of a weapon and verdict form—or the lesser included on 102, discharging a firearm in public. THE COURT: I’m not going to give them. Anything further gentlemen? Any specific instructions?”
