CALCRIM 103. REASONABLE DOUBT

...Whenever I (the Judge) tell you the People must prove something, I mean they must prove it beyond a reasonable doubt unless I specifically tell you otherwise.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is proof that leaves you with an abiding conviction that the charge is true.  The evidence need not eliminate all possible doubt because everything in life is open to some possible or imaginary doubt...

CALCRIM 222 EVIDENCE

Nothing that the attorneys say is evidence.  In their opening statements and closing arguments, the attorneys discuss the case, but their remarks are not evidence.  Their questions are not evidence.  Only the witnesses' answers are evidence.  The attorneys' questions are significant only if they helped you to understand the witnesses' answers....

During the trial, the attorneys may have objected to questions or moved to strike answers given by the witnesses.  I ruled on the objections according to the law.  If I sustain an objection, you just ignore the question. If the witness was not permitted to answer, do not guess what the answer might have been or why I ruled as I did.  If I ordered testimony stricken from the record you must disregard it and must not consider that testimony for any purpose.
