A. WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED AND ABUSED ITS DISCRETION BY NOT SEVERING THE TRIAL OF BLAN FROM THAT OF HIS CO-DEFENDANTS WHERE BLAN WAS CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE AND THE CO-DEFENDANTS WERE CHARGED WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS SERIOUS OFFENSES?

B. WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED AND ABUSED ITS DISCRETION BY NOT ALLOWING BLAN TO TESTIFY REGARDING THE HOMICIDE DEATH OF HIS COUSIN IN THE WEEKS LEADING UP TO THE DEATH IN THIS CASE WHERE SUCH TESTIMONY WOULD HAVE HELPED THE JURY TO UNDERSTAND BLAN'S STATE OF MIND AND ACTIONS ON THE DATE IN QUESTION?

C. WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED AND ABUSED ITS DISCRETION BY NOT SENDING OUT A PRINTED COPY OF THE JUSTIFICATION/SELF-DEFENSE INSTRUCTION ALONG WITH THE CHARGES WHEN THE JURY REQUESTED A WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTS AGAINST BLAN AND A DEFINITION OF MALICE?

Whether the trial court abused its discretion by refusing to sever Blan's homicide trial from his co-defendants' less serious charges, by excluding testimony regarding a prior cousin's death relevant to Blan's state of mind, and by failing to provide written jury instructions on justification and self-defense when requested
