1 Certain things are not evidence. Objections are not evidence.
Lawyers have a right to object when they believe something is improper.
You should not be influenced by the objection. If I sustain an objection to a question, you must ignore the question and must not try to guess what the answer might have been. Testimony that I strike from the record, or tell you to disregard, is not evidence and must not be considered. Anything you see or hear about this case outside the courtroom is not evidence, unless I specifically tell you otherwise during the trial. Furthermore, a particular item of evidence is sometimes received for a limited purpose only.
