MUJI 2d CR101
Introduction
(Ladies and Gentlemen) (Members of the Jury), you have been selected and sworn as the jury in this case. The defendant is accused of committing one or more crimes. You will decide if the defendant is guilty or not guilty. I will give you some instructions now and some later. You are required to consider and follow all my instructions. Keep an open mind throughout the trial. At the end of the trial you will discuss the evidence and reach a verdict. You took an oath to "well and truly try the issues pending between the parties" and to "render a true and just verdict." The oath is your promise to do your duty as a member of the jury. Be alert. Pay attention. Follow my instructions.
