Proper Closing Instructions in Jury Charge
Forgive me if the answer to my question is simple and obvious, but are there any closing instructions that are required to be in a jury charge?

In looking at many of my old jury charges, the closing instructions include a discussion of reasonable doubt. However, this discussion is not required, nor encouraged, under the Paulson case. So, I'm looking to revamp what I typically use.

What I am interested in knowing is what closing instructions you all use. If you don't mind sharing, you can also send examples of your closing instructions to me via email: misti@txnetwork.com.

Thanks in advance.
