11 been chosen to try the issues of fact and reach a verdict on
12 the basis of the evidence or lack of evidence. If you let
13 sympathy interfere with your clear thinking, there is a risk
14 that you'll not arrive at a just verdict.
15 As you deliberate, please listen to the opinions of
16 your fellow jurors and ask for an opportunity to express your
