What is the proper limiting instruction to a jury in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Marquez, C083817 (Cal. App. 2017):

shackles, and gives the proper limiting instruction, after the shackles are made apparent to the jury by an officer's "inartful description" of the restraints. (See People v. Lopez (2013) 56 Cal.4th 1028, 1079-1081 [concluding that where defendant was wearing restraints that were not visible to jurors, deputy sheriff's fleeting and ambiguous reference to possibility that defendant might be in restraints did not trigger sua sponte duty to instruct jurors that restraints did not indicate defendant was a violent person disposed to commit the charged crime].)
