N.C.P.I.—Crim. 100.00
ADMONITION TO THE TRIAL JUDGE ON STATING THE EVIDENCE.
NOTE WELL: Not to be read to the jury!!! This is for
the guidance of the instructing judge only. All future
pattern changes and replacements will contain no
reference to the evidence, in compliance with the new
statute.
The presiding judge is not required to state the evidence nor to
apply the law thereto under the new statutes (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-1232
applicable to criminal cases; N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1A-1, Rule 51A applicable
to civil cases).
The statutes and case law do not require that a judge state the
contentions of the parties; it does require that if he states any, he must
give equal stress to the contentions of all parties. It is unnecessary to
state the contentions of the parties.
