Civil model jury charge1.12 E. The Evidence

The evidence in this case consists of [refer to appropriate items]:

1. the testimony that you heard from the witness (including any video-taped testimony);

2. the exhibits that have been marked into evidence;

3. the deposition testimony and answers to interrogatories that were read into the record;

4. the stipulations and admissions that were placed on the record. As you recall, the stipulation and admissions are facts that the parties agree are true. Therefore, you can accept all admissions and stipulations as true in your deliberations.

(Use when applicable)

Any testimony that I have stricken from the record is not evidence and should not be considered by you in your deliberations. This means that even though you may remember the testimony you are not to use it in your discussions or deliberations.

(Use when applicable)

Further, if I gave a limiting instruction as to how to use certain evidence, that evidence must be considered by you for that purpose only. You cannot use it for any other purpose. [You may repeat limiting instructions if appropriate.]
