Brown v. Contemporary OB/GYN Associates3/27/2002
instruct the jury on a point of law that is supported by some evidence in the record." Green v. State, 119 Md. App. 547, 562 (1998). "In reviewing the propriety of a trial court's denial of a requested jury instruction, we must examine `whether the requested instruction was a correct exposition of the law, whether that law was applicable in light of the evidence before the jury, and finally whether the substance of the requested instruction was fairly covered by the instruction actually given.'" Farley v. Allstate Ins. Co., 355 Md. 34, 47 (1999) (emphasis added) (quoting Wegad v. Howard St. Jewelers, 326 Md. 409, 414 (1992)); see Molock v. Dorchester County Family YMCA, Inc., 139 Md. App. 664, 671 (2001); Jacobs v. Flynn, 131 Md. App. 342, 383, cert. denied sub nom. Kishel v. Jacobs, 359 Md. 669 (2000); Green, 119 Md. App. at 563; Md. Rule 2-520(c).
Here, we are amply satisfied that the court did not err in failing to instruct the jury on wrongful death or on appellants' theory as to intentional decapitation. Neither claim was supported by any evidence in the record.
APPELLANTS' MOTION TO PROCEED PRO SE GRANTED; JUDGMENTS AFFIRMED; COSTS TO BE PAID BY APPELLANTS.
