636 N.W.2d 137
No. 118181 (65).Supreme Court of Michigan.
October 3, 2001.
COA: 212111, Wayne CC: 97-006-731-01.
On order of the Court, the motion to permit amendment to the grounds for appeal is GRANTED. The delayed application for leave to appeal from the October 13, 2000, decision of the Court of Appeals, is considered, and it is GRANTED, limited to the question of whether the trial court erred reversibly in denying defendant’s request to instruct the jury on lack of duty to retreat. In their arguments, the parties shall address the various different possible zones in which courts have found, or commentators have argued, that there should be no duty to retreat and the parties shall argue the merits and demerits of each approach. The appropriate committees of the State Bar of Michigan and similar interested organizations or persons are invited to file briefs amicus curiae.
