It is the job of a lawyer to object to questions, testimony or exhibits the lawyer believes may not be proper. I will sustain objections if the question or evidence sought is improper for you to consider. When I "sustain" an objection, the question or evidence is not allowed. You must not consider such evidence nor may you consider any evidence I have told you to disregard. By itself, a question is not evidence. You must not speculate about what would be the answer to a question that I rule cannot be answered. If I "overrule" an objection, then the question or evidence will be allowed.
USE NOTES
It is contemplated that this instruction will be given at the time the first witness is called.
