One or more of the attorneys has referred to their absence from the trial.

Their absence should not affect your judgment in any way.\n4 You should remember my instruction, however, that the law does not impose on the defendant in a criminal case the burden or duty of calling any witnesses or producing any evidence.\n71\nDOJ-OGR-00008610",
