While the trial is in progress, you must not discuss the case in any manner among yourselves or with anyone else, nor should you permit anyone to discuss it in your presence. From time to time during the trial I may be called upon to make rulings of law on objections or motions made by the lawyers. It is the duty of the attorney on each side of a case to object when the other side offers testimony or other evidence which the attorney believes is not properly admissible. You should not show prejudice against an attorney or his client because the attorney has made objections. You should not infer or conclude from any rulings or other comment I may make that I have any opinions on the merits of the case favoring one side or the other. And if I sustain an objection to a question that goes unanswered by the witness, you should not draw any inferences or conclusions from the question itself. During the trial, it may be necessary for me to confer with the lawyers out of your hearing with regard to questions of law or procedure that require consideration by the Court alone. On some occasions you may be excused from the courtroom for the same reason. I will try to limit these interruptions as much as possible, but you should remember the importance of the matter you are here to determine and should be patient even though the case may seem to go slowly. JURY INSTRUCTION NO. B
