N.C.P.I.—Civil 101.43
DEPOSITION EVIDENCE.
During the trial of this case, certain testimony has been presented
to you by way of deposition, consisting of sworn recorded answers to
questions asked of the witness in advance of the trial by one or more of
the attorneys for the parties to the case. You are to consider the
credibility and weight of this testimony, insofar as possible, in the same
way as if the witness had been present and testified from the witness
stand.]2
(At an earlier time, the deposition of a [party] [witness] was taken
under oath. If, in the deposition, such [party] [witness] made
contradictory statements or any statements in conflict with his testimony
here in court, you may consider such conflicts and any explanations
therefor in determining his credibility, the same as if the testimony in the
deposition had been given at the trial.3)
