Burman v. Keller Ladders8/20/2001
uld consider the demonstration:
You are instructed that any demonstration involving the plaintiffs' ladder in the courtroom during the trial, including someone climbing the ladder in your presence, was solely for the limited purpose of illustrating the statements of witnesses who were then testifying. Such demonstrations are not to be considered as scientific or reliable reconstruction of the accident, or scientific or reliable experimentation regarding the strength or stability of the ladder.
Juries are presumed to follow the court's instructions.27 There is nothing to suggest that the jury did not follow this instruction. The court's decision to allow counsel to climb the ladder, particularly in light of the jury instruction, was not an abuse of discretion.
We affirm the judgment.
