“[A] party is entitled to an instruction on his theory of the case, provided the instruction is . . . supported by the evidence . . . .”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The trial court has a duty to make the interrogation of witnesses and the presentation of evidence effective for the ascertainment of truth.... In doing so, the trial court is permitted to interrogate witnesses, ... particularly when it deems the questioning necessary to clarify testimony. and to elicit necessary facts.... The trial court’s intervention should not be so extensive as to destroy the overall fairness of the trial, however. Unfairness to the defendant can result where the trial court loses its color of neutrality and tends to accentuate and emphasize the prosecution’s case.... Athough the trial court may interject isolated questions to clarify ambiguities, it cannot assume the mantle of an advocate and take over the cross-examination for the government to merely emphasize the government’s proof or to question the credibility of the defendant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“A defendant is not entitled to a particularly worded instruction where the instructions given adequately and correctly cover the substance of the requested instruction.”
