1 lawyers are not evidence, nor are statements I make or
2 questions I ask of a witness.
3 Second, objections to questions are not evidence. The
4 lawyers have an obligation to make an objection when they
5 believe evidence being offered is improper under the rules of
6 evidence. You should not be influenced by the objection or by
7 my rulings on them. If the objection is sustained, ignore the
8 question and any answer that may have been given. If it's
9 overruled, treat the answer like any other. If you're
10 instructed that some item of evidence is received for a limited
11 purpose only, you must follow that instruction.
12 Third, the testimony that I've excluded or told you to
13 disregard is not evidence and must not be considered.
14 Fourth, anything you may have seen or heard outside
15 the courtroom is not evidence and must be disregarded. You are
16 to decide this case solely on the evidence presented here in
17 the courtroom.
18 There is no formula to evaluate testimony or exhibits.
19 For now, suffice it to say that you bring with you into this
20 courtroom all of the experience and background of your lives.
21 Do not leave your common sense outside the courtroom. The same
22 types of tests that you use in your everyday dealings are the
23 tests that you should apply in deciding how much weight, if
24 any, to give to the evidence in this case.
25 The law does not require you to accept all of the
2 questions I ask of a witness.
