REMARKS TO JURORS BEFORE CHARGE CONFERENCE.
NOTE WELL: This is a suggestive model and the judge
can modify as deemed appropriate
Members of the jury, all of the evidence has now been presented. It
will soon be your duty to decide from the evidence what the facts are and
to apply the law that I am about to give you to those facts in arriving at
your verdict in this case.
Prior to the arguments of the lawyers and the final instructions of
the court on the law that will follow the lawyers' speeches, I am required
to confer with the lawyers about the law involved in this case. For this
purpose, you will now be excused to the jury room while we conduct our
charge conference, after which we will proceed with the conclusion of this
case. Do not yet allow your minds to be made up in this case because
you have not yet heard the arguments of the lawyers or instructions of
the court. Again, I caution you not to discuss the case with each other or
anyone else or permit anyone to discuss it in your presence or speak to
anyone involved in the case in this period.
