MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Dorri, 15 F.3d 888 (9th Cir. 1994):
Additionally, although Bollenbach v. United States, 326 U.S. 607, 612-13, 66 S.Ct. 402, 405, 90 L.Ed. 350 (1946), held that the court should clear up the difficulties which a jury may have, nevertheless, the giving of supplemental instructions lies within the discretion of the trial court. United States v. Solomon, 825 F.2d 1292, 1295 (9th Cir.1987), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1046, 108 S.Ct. 782, 98 L.Ed.2d 868 (1988). There was no abuse of discretion here.
