That is how you will reach your verdict. In doing so, you must follow that law whether you agree with it or not. You should not take anything I may say or do during the trial as indicating what I think of the evidence or what your verdict should be. See Instruction 3.01 for instruction at end of case. See Instruction 3.05 for instruction at end of case.
Some evidence is admitted for a limited purpose only.
When I instruct you that an item of evidence has been admitted for a limited purpose, you must consider it only for that limited purpose and for no other. As a rule, limiting instructions need only be given when requested and need not be given sua sponte by the court. See also Instructions 2.08, 2.09, and 3.05. Evidence may be direct or circumstantial. Direct evidence is direct proof of a fact, such as testimony by a witness about what that witness personally saw or heard or did.
