INSTRUCTION NO. ________

        I have outlined for you the rules of law applicable to this case and have told you of some of the matters which you may consider in weighing the evidence to determine the facts. In a few minutes counsel will present their closing remarks to you; and then you will retire to the jury room for your deliberations.

        The attitude and conduct of jurors at the beginning of their deliberations are important. It is rarely productive for a juror, at the outset, to make an emphatic expression of his opinion on the case or to state how he intends to vote. When one does that at the beginning, his sense of pride may be aroused; and he may hesitate to change his position, even if shown that it is wrong. Remember that you are not partisans or advocates, but are judges. For you, as for me, there can be no triumph except in the ascertainment and declaration of the truth.

        Consult with one another. Consider each other's views; and deliberate with the objective of reaching an agreement, if you can do so without disturbing your individual judgment. Each of you must decide this case for yourself; but you should do so only after a discussion and consideration of the case with your fellow jurors.
