Conn. Crim. Jury Instr. 1.2-8
Police Testimony
Police will be testifying in this case. You must determine the credibility of police officials in the
same way and by the same standards as you would evaluate the testimony of any other witness.
The testimony of a police official is entitled to no special or exclusive weight merely because it
comes from a police official. You should recall (his/her) demeanor on the stand and manner of
testifying, and weigh and balance it just as carefully as you would the testimony of any other
witness. You should neither believe nor disbelieve the testimony of a police official just because
(he/she) is a police official.
