Alaska Criminal Pattern Jury Instruction 1.27
Defendant's Out-of-Court Statement
You have heard testimony that the defendant made an out-of-court statement. It is for you to decide whether the defendant made the statement, and if so, how much weight to give to it. In making those decisions, you should consider all the evidence about the out-of-court statement, including the circumstances under which the defendant may have made it.
[Evidence of a defendant’s unrecorded out-of-court statement tending to show (his/her) guilt should be viewed with caution.]
