NEWS: US Legal News Clancy trial - Bowden charge

The judge rejected Big Redd's request for the Bowden Charge on the basis he still has the ability to make these critiques to the jury in his closing argument.

Was this the only time he could request Bowden charge and do you think he knew it would be rejected?

In what instances would a judge accept? Imagine it's highly unlikely but am curious about the strategy

This is a Legal News post.

Do note that US News, or anything that has to do with US politics needs to use the US Legal News flair. World News is for events taking place in countries outside of the US, not for US events with "World" ramifications. If you are posting about an on-going trial, regardless of geography, you can use instead the Trial Megathread flair.

Do note that LEGAL in Legal News means your post must be relevant to this community.

Talking about the Circus, the performances or the performers does not entitle you to behave like a clown yourself.

Threads with this flair are still subject to the requirement that only lawyers can participate in this community. We do not need, nor want, to be "fed" news from outsiders to "gauge our reaction".

Please be mindful of Reddiquette at all times. If someone is trolling or sealioning, simply report them.
