Alaska Civil Pattern Jury Instruction 2.25
Unsworn Oral Admissions of Party
You have heard evidence about unsworn oral statements made by a party outside the courtroom. Unsworn oral statements by a party can be used as evidence against that party. However, such statements should be viewed with caution.
In evaluating such statements, you might find it helpful to consider the context in which the statement was made, including:
(1) whether the statements were detailed ones;
(2) whether they were made at a time when the party knew the facts spoken about;
(3) whether when the party made the statements, there was time to make them complete;
(4) whether the party had legal assistance in making the statements; and
(5) whether the physical or mental condition of the party or the circumstances in which the statement was made impaired the party's ability to make an accurate statement.
