any feelings you might have about the nature of the crimes
charged to interfere with your decision-making process. Ms.
Maxwell is entitled to a trial free from prejudice; and our
judicial system cannot work unless you reach your verdict
through a fair and impartial consideration of the evidence.
Instruction No. 6. All parties are equal before the
law.
You are to perform the duty of finding the facts
without bias or prejudice as to any party. You are to perform
your final duty in an attitude of complete fairness and
impartiality. The fact that the prosecution is brought in the
name of the United States of America entitles the government to
no greater consideration than that given to any other party to
this litigation. By the same token, the government is entitled
to no less consideration. All parties stand as equals at the
bar of justice.
Instruction No. 7. Presumption of innocence and
burden of proof.
The law presumes the defendant to be innocent of all
charges against her. Ms. Maxwell has pleaded not guilty to the
charges in the indictment. As a result, the burden is on the
government to prove Ms. Maxwell's guilt beyond a reasonable
doubt as to each charge. This burden never shifts to the
defendant for the simple reason that the law never imposes upon
a defendant in a criminal case the burden or duty of
charged to interfere with your decision-making process. Ms.
Maxwell is entitled to a trial free from prejudice; and our
judicial system cannot work unless you reach your verdict
through a fair and impartial consideration of the evidence.
