Prayers of Defense.
Following are the prayers submitted
by the defense:
Presumption of innocence. The
usual formal instruction is asked.
Unreasonable doubt. By the term
reasonable DOUBT" as used in the in
structions, is meant that state of the
case which, after the entire COMPARE
son and consideration of all evidence,
leaves the minds of the jurors in that
condition that they cannot say that
they feel an abiding conviction to a
moral certainty OF the truth of the
charge; a certainty that convinces and
directs the understanding and satisfies
the reason and judgment of those who
are bound to act cOnscientiOusly upon
it.
3-The court instruCts the jury that
in this case the law raises no presump-
ton against the defendant, but that
every presumption of law is in favor
of he innocence of the defendant.
Evidence of Policemen.
-Police officers The jury is in
structed that i'm determining the
weight to be given to the confessions
alleged to have been made by the de-
PENDANT to the police officers they shall
take into consideration all the facts
and circumstances surrounding the de-
PENDANT at the time of making the
alleged confessions. and if upon all the
evidence bearing upon this point they
shall ind that the alleged confessions
were not voluntarily made, then it is
their duty to disregard them.
5-Lay witnesses. The jury in deter
mining the weight to be given the
opinions of lay witnesses upon the
question Of the sanity of the defend
ant, shall look to the facts stated by
witnesses upon which the said opinions
We're based, and shall consider the
facts stated in determining what
weight is to be given to such opinions.
If Act Was involuntary.
6-Thc jury is instructed that if it
believes from the whole evidence that
at -he time of committing the acts
charged in the indictment the defend
ant was suffering from such a pervert
ed and deranged condition of her mem
tai anC moral faculties as rendered
her incapable of distinguishing be
tween right and wrong. or unconscious
at such time of the nature of the acts
charged in the indictment while COM
hitting the same, or where. though
conscious of them and able to distin-
guish between right and wrong and to
know that the acts were wrong, yet
her will, the governing power of her
mind, was otherwise than voluntarily,
so completed destroyed that her action
was not subject to it, but beyond her
control. it would be their duty to &C
quit the defendant, and in such event
their verdict should be not guilty.
Reasonable doubt of sanity. The
jury is instructed that if after a con-
side-ation of the whole evidence they
have a reasonable doubt upon the
question of the sanity of the defend
ant, it is their duty to resolve that
doubt ia her favor and render a YER
dict OF not guilty.
