2011Conversely, a trial court has no duty to instruct the jury sua sponte on an included offense charge if the evidence does not clearly indicate or warrant such a charge. [ 187 N.J. 119, 132 , 900 A.2d 797 (2006) (citations, internal quotation marks and editing marks omitted).] The lesson derived from those authorities is straightforward: a trial court’s duty to charge the jury on its own motion is one that is not self-executing, and that duty arises only when the record evidence clearly indicates the need for or clearly warrants the unrequested jury instruction. 8 See State v. Choice, 98 N.J. 29

1995Thus, answering the question whether the Government approved reasonably precise specifications for the design feature in question necessarily answers the question whether the federal contract conflicts with state law. [ 985 F.2d at 86-87 (footnote and citation omitted).] We concur in the reasoning of those courts that find the operative standard for determining whether a significant conflict exists to justify the preemption of state liability law is that expressed by the three elements of the Boyle test.
