Nevada Jury Instructions
WHAT IS AND WHAT IS NOT EVIDENCE
The evidence which you are to consider in this case consists of the testimony of the witnesses, the exhibits, and any facts admitted or agreed to by counsel.
Statements, arguments and opinions of counsel are not evidence in the case. However, if the attorneys stipulate as to the existence of a fact, you must accept the stipulation as evidence and regard that fact as proved.
You must not speculate to be true any insinuations suggested by a question asked a witness. A question is not evidence and may be considered only as it supplies meaning to the answer.
You must disregard any evidence to which an objection was sustained by the court and any evidence ordered stricken by the court.
Anything you may have seen or heard outside the courtroom is not evidence and must also be disregarded.
