Summary
This document is a court transcript from a trial (Case 1:20-cr-00330-AJN) dated August 10, 2022. In it, the presiding judge instructs the jury on their fundamental duties, emphasizing that the judge decides the law while the jury are the 'triers of fact.' The judge defines what constitutes legal evidence—such as witness testimony and admitted documents—and begins to list items that must not be considered evidence, like lawyers' arguments, to ensure a fair verdict based only on the facts presented.

What then is evidence?
Evidence consists only of the testimony of witnesses,
documents, and other things admitted as evidence or
stipulations agreed to by the parties. Some of you have

evidence." Do not be concerned with these terms. You are to
consider all of the evidence given in this trial. Certain
