2018In that regard I believe the law cited in Hamilton, supra and Comen, supra applies, rather than the rule cited in Ellis, supra. In other words the trial court may retain discretion in the wording of the instruction, but it cannot, as a matter of law, refuse to give an instruction where there is “appropriate to the facts” presented in evidence.

Allen v. United States green
· 1896
1 sentence

1975The term, "Allen charge,” derives from Allen v. United States (1896), 164 U. S. 492 , wherein a supplemental instruction respecting jurors’ duties in attempting to reach a verdict was approved. 4 Although Allen has never been overruled or modified by the United States Supreme Court, it has been increasingly criticized. 5 The principle and most frequent reason advanced is that it lacks balance; that the thrust of the Allen instruction is directed to the minority jurors only and is potentially coercive upon them to agree with those jurors constituting the majority.
