During a recent court proceeding, defense attorney Emil Bove made a request to Judge Juan Merchan for a deviation from the standard criminal jury instructions language. Bove emphasized the importance of the case at hand and urged the judge to provide specific descriptions of the statutes being applied, citing the lack of clear precedent for their application in this particular case.
In response to Bove's request, Judge Merchan acknowledged the significance of the case but expressed his reluctance to alter the established legal framework. Merchan stated, 'What you're asking me to do is change the law, and I'm not going to do that.'
