    • Closing Instructions
  • The opinion of an expert is based upon certain underlying facts or data. While you need not accept that opinion, you should consider it and give it such weight and credibility as you think it deserves in the light of all the circumstances. If you conclude that the opinion is not based on sufficient education or experience, or the reasons given in support of the opinion are unsound, or the opinion is outweighed by other evidence, you may disregard the opinion.
