the jury instructions are going to be long and complicated; the charge sheet is long and complicated, then the jury have to agree that the state proved every element of the crime, so it will be confusing, even after the judge has read the jury instructions, and once he has read them, he can't clarify them, so if the jury say they are confused all he can do is say the instructions are the instructions IMVHO
and I will forever be confused as to why people think the defense has a malicious intent, when it is there ethical duty to provide the best defense, they can, seems people don't think defense attorneys are allowed to do a good job if it is not them being defended,
the defense has nothing to do with confusing the jury, the state charged GW, if the jury are confused by the charge sheet, then that is one thing the defense cannot be blamed for.
Both sides agree on jury instructions, the judge reads them, off the jury go,
