This document is a legal instruction, specifically "Instruction No. 2: Role of the Jury," from a trial filed on December 19, 2021. The judge outlines the jury's responsibilities as the exclusive finders of fact, who must weigh evidence, determine witness credibility, and make decisions based solely on the evidence presented. The instruction explicitly distinguishes what constitutes evidence (witness answers, exhibits, stipulations) from what does not (lawyers' statements, questions, and the judge's own comments or rulings).
