Written statements made by a witness to 1
2 investigators or other officers or police reports made
3 by officers and tendered by the prosecution to the
4 defense for purposes of cross-examination are not part
@) of the evidence unless introduced in evidence. Many
6 times statements and reports may be marked with an
7 exhibit number but are neither offered nor received in
8 evidence. I can send only statements and reports
9 received in evidence to the jury room.
10 You are i_ns"t:_ructed that the -~ta.:t.e_m~n_t~ __ Q_t
11 counsel made during the course of the tria± or during .,
12 the argument, if not supported by evidence, or 13 statements of law made by counsel, if not in ha~mony
14 with the law as stated to you by the Court in these
15 instructions, are to be wholly disregarded.
16 You must disregard any comment or
17 statement made by the Court during the trial or in these
18 instructions which may seem to indicate an opinion with
19 respect to any facts, item of evidence or verdict to be reached in this case. No such indication is intended.
20
21 You are instructed that the grand jury
22 indictment is not evidence of guilt. It is the meaq.s
23 whereby a defendant is brought to trial -in a felony
24 prosecution. It is not evidence, nor can it be
25 cons ide red_ by y_ou in passing upon whether this defendant

38 1 Against Mayra Rubio, used or attempted use of force you
2 will find the defendant not guilty of felony assault. I'm making those corrections. Other than those
3
4 corrections, does the State have any object to the
5 charge? MR. DEMARTINO: No objections, Your Honor.
6 THE COURT: All right. Now, the defense?
7 MR. EASTLAND: Yes, Your Honor. And before we
8
GY make those formal objections I'd like to make a motion
10 for directed verdict.
11 THE COURT: All right. And based on?
12 MR. EASTLAND: Based on that hardly a scintilla
13 of evidence has been presented to convict Mr. Flores of
14 these three charges.
15 THE COURT: Of each of the charges?
16 MR. EASTLAND: Of each of them.
17 THE COURT: And that will be denied.
Now, did you have a request for the 18
19 charge, and I will note for the ·record that the Court on
20 its own has included, based on the defendant's
21 testimony, unlawful restraint and necessity as a
justification. Other than those additions to the
23 charge, do you have any other request? MR. EASTLAND: We have n6 obje6tion to the
24
~ unlawful restraint. We are formally objecting to the
DEBRA JIMENEZ, CSR
290TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT 210.335.1236
39 1 necessity instruction. We believe, Your Honor, that the \
2 evidence shows on its own from -- from the beginning of the transaction. The house, all the way into the
3
4 actions in the car, the very end where she got out. We
5 believe that a juror -- a rational juror could decide on
6 their own that, okay, maybe there was an abduction, but
7 maybe there was restraint somewhere in there. MR. KAPPMEYER: You're talking about the
8
CV necessity in the defense of the assault?
10 THE COURT: I'm talking about the fact that I
11 gave you as a justification to any unlawful restraint
12 that the jury might find a justification of necessity.
13 Meaning that I am ln the charge instructing this jury that if they found a necessity on the part of the
14
QJ) defendant when he was engaging in unlawful restraint, if
16 he did, then they should find him not guilty of even the
17 lesser. So if you want that taken out, Couns.el, I' 11 take it out. Go off the record.
18 (Off-the-record discussion)
19
20 THE COURT: Back on the record. Some of you
21 are wanting the defense the justification of necessity
~ taken out of the charge as it applies to unlawful
23 restraint• the lesser included that the Court is giving
24 you?
25 MR. EASTLAND: No, Your Honor. I'd·like it to

40 Q stay in, in that part of the unlawful restraint ·charge to stay in. But I'd also like an additional unlawful
2
3 restraint section put in, just for the record, Your
4 Honor.
5 THE COURT: But it is in a different portion.
6 It's a lesser included offense of unlawful restraint.
7 He's not charged with it. And that's a misdemeanor
8 offense. It's a lesser included offense of the
9 aggravated kidnapping. Therefore, it is included in the
10 charge as a lesser and that's where it's going to stay.
11 So that request is denied. Additional requests?
12
13 MR. EASTLAND: N6thing further, Your Honor.
14 THE COURT: All right. And off the record.
(Off-the-record discussion)
16 THE COURT: All right. Back on the record.
17 Are there any other further requests for any other
18 special charges?
MR. EASTLAND: We'd also like a ~esser included 20 put in the jury instruction of just. kidnapping. Not
21 aggravated, but kidnappin~.
THE COURT: And I do believe that the defendant 23 testified very clearly in answer to questions that he
24 never kidnapped the victim. I am not going to include the lesser included otfense. We are going to get the
