testimony of witnesses who were previously convicted of crimes
punishable by more than one year in jail. This prior
conviction was put into evidence for you to consider in
evaluating the witness's credibility. You may consider the
fact that the witness who testified was a convicted felon in
deciding how much of his testimony to accept and what weight if
any it should be given." Looks like I gave that in my -- in
the United States v. Berry.
MR. EVERDELL: I think we've been using that as a
model in this charge, your Honor, so we would request a similar
instruction here.
THE COURT: I would add it, as I did in that last
case, as a standalone instruction.
Mr. Rohrbach.
MR. ROHRBACH: Your Honor, this is the first we've
hoard of this proposal. So if we could have a few hours after
the charge conference to give it some thought. We can file a
letter saying either, we agree, or, if we have objections to
it, articulating those.
THE COURT: I think that's fair, and I will look too
since it's a new suggestion. I think my proposal would be to
just do it as a standalone instruction at, maybe what would be
45-A?
MR. EVERDELL: That's fine, your Honor.
THE COURT: Between 45 and '6.
