It is one of our most cherished rights. You decide whom to believe or not believe. You determine the weight to be given to all the evidence. The judge will provide the law to you, which you will then apply to the facts you find to be true. You determine the facts from only the evidence presented in court.
Evidence comes only from what occurs in the courtroom.
Evidence can be from the testimony of witnesses, exhibits admitted for your review, and from facts agreed upon both sides. The statements of the lawyers are not evidence. You may believe all, part, or none to a witness s testimony. The quality and not the quality of evidence is most important. Your duty is to listen to all evidence with an open mind.
