MUJI 2d CV119
Evidence.
"Evidence" is anything that tends to prove or disprove a disputed fact. It can be the testimony of a witness or documents or objects or photographs or certain qualified opinions or any combination of these things.
You must entirely disregard any evidence for which I sustain an objection and any evidence that I order to be struck.
Anything you may have seen or heard outside the courtroom is not evidence and you must entirely disregard it.
The lawyers might stipulate-or agree-to a fact or I might take judicial notice of a fact. Otherwise, what I say and what the lawyers say is not evidence.
You are to consider only the evidence in the case, but you are not expected to abandon your common sense. You are permitted to interpret the evidence in light of your experience.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
