Conn. Crim. Jury Instr. 1.2-9
Objections
During the course of the trial, counsel for either party may object to a question asked by the other
lawyer. It is the responsibility of counsel to object to evidence which he or she believes is not
properly admissible, and you should not be prejudiced in any way against a lawyer who makes
objections. When that happens, I will rule on that objection. If I sustain the objection, you will
not hear an answer to the question and you should not wonder why it was asked or speculate as
to what an answer might be. If I overrule an objection, you will hear an answer to the question
and you may give it whatever consideration you feel it is entitled to.
There may be times when counsel or the court may ask that you be excused when arguments or
objections are made. Those arguments often include matters of evidence that the court may
eventually exclude. The reason that I ask you to step out is to assure that you will not hear
evidence that is not properly admissible and not to keep from you evidence that you should hear.
