It is my job to preside over the trial, decide and instruct on questions of law and rule upon what evidence may be admitted for your consideration.
No gesture, remark or comment I make should influence your decision in this case. At times I may ask questions of witnesses. If I do, such questions do not in any way indicate my opinion about the facts or indicate the weight I feel you should give to the testimony of the witness.
