Del. P.J.I. Crim. No. 2.7
Credibility of Witnesses
CREDIBILITY OF WITNESSES
You are the sole judges of the credibility of each witness. You decide the
weight to be given to each witness’s testimony. You should not give more weight
to the testimony of police officers merely because they are police officers. You
should consider each witness's means of knowledge, strength of memory and
opportunity for observation, the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the
testimony, the consistency or inconsistency of the testimony, the motivations of the
witness, whether the testimony has been contradicted, the bias, prejudice or
interest of the witness, if any, the manner or demeanor of the witness upon the
witness stand, and all other facts and circumstances shown by the evidence that
affect the credibility of the testimony.
