Does the term "firearm" need to be defined in the instructions of a jury?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Eljammal, 26 F.3d 133 (9th Cir. 1994):
Eljammal contends that the district court did not define the term "firearm" in its jury instructions. Because Eljammal did not request such an instruction, we review for plain error. United States v. Garza-Juarez, 992 F.2d 896, 910 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 114 S.Ct. 724 (1993).
