CJI-Civ. 40:3
Summary Closing Instruction
These instructions contain the law that will govern you in this case.
No one of these instructions states all of the law applicable, but all of them must be
taken, read and considered together because they are connected with and related to each
other as a whole.
You must not be concerned with the wisdom of any rule of law. Regardless of any
opinion you may have as to what the law should be, it would be a violation of your sworn
duty to base a verdict upon any other view of the law than that given in the instructions of
the Court.
Neither sympathy nor prejudice should influence you. You must not consider for
any purpose what action the Court may take with respect to the juvenile as a result of your
verdict. Such action is solely the responsibility of the Court.
The Court did not in any way and does not by these instructions express any
opinions as to what has or has not been proved in the case, or as to what are or are not the
facts of the case.
