4.17 Charts and Summaries Admitted into Evidence

Printer-friendly version

4.17 CHARTS AND SUMMARIES ADMITTED INTO EVIDENCE 

Certain charts and summaries have been admitted into evidence. Charts and summaries are only as good as the underlying supporting material. You should, therefore, give them only such weight as you think the underlying material deserves. 

Comment 

See Fed. R. Evid. 1006 (Summaries to Prove Content). 

Use this instruction when charts and summaries are admitted into evidence. If charts and summaries are not admitted into evidence, use Instruction 4.16 (Charts and Summaries Not Admitted into Evidence). 

This instruction may be unnecessary if there is no dispute as to the accuracy of the chart or summary.
