Conn. Civ. Jury Instr. 1.2-8
Prerecorded Testimony
Where a witness is unavailable at the time of trial (or the parties otherwise agree), the testimony
of that witness as recorded under oath at an earlier time may be presented for your consideration.
Your role as jurors in assessing testimony presented in this manner is no different than if the
witness were here in court to testify and you should pay careful attention as the (transcribed
testimony is read / the videotaped testimony is played). You should not make any adverse
inference from the fact that the witness was not present in person to testify, but rather you should
consider this testimony in the same way that you consider all of the other evidence in this trial.
