For jury instructions to be effective, they must be clear and simple. Sentences should be short; instruc- tions should contain no more than a few sentences, cover only one topic, and be directly related to the circumstances of the case (they should not be abstract statements of the law).
The comparable Judicial Council instruction (number 202) reads: Some evidence proves a fact directly, such as testimony of a witness who saw a jet plane flying across the sky. Some evidence proves a fact indirectly, such as testimony of a witness who saw only the white trail that jet planes often leave.
