(2) After the Close of the Evidence. After the close of the evidence, a party may:
(B) with the court’s permission, file untimely requests for instructions on any issue.
(2) must give the parties an opportunity to object on the record and out of the jury’s hearing before the instructions and arguments are delivered; and
(3) may instruct the jury at any time before the jury is discharged.
(2) When to Make. An objection is timely if:
(B) a party was not informed of an instruction or action on a request before that opportunity to object, and the party objects promptly after learning that the instruction or request will be, or has been, given or refused.
(B) a failure to give an instruction, if that party properly requested it and — unless the court rejected the request in a definitive ruling on the record — also properly objected.
