Highlight

A party may not challenge on appeal an alleged error invited by that party.

An obvious error is an error that is plain and affects the defendant’s substantial rights.

Jury instructions must correctly and adequately inform the jury of the law, and a jury instruction that fails to instruct the jury on all of the essential elements of an offense is in error.
