Rule 105 Limiting Evidence That is Not Admissible Against Other Parties or for Other

When evidence is allowed into a trial, it sometimes only applies to one person or one specific reason. A judge can tell the jury to only use that evidence in the right way and not apply it more broadly.

For example, if a statement can be used against one defendant but not another, the judge can give the jury clear instructions about this limit. To get this instruction, you need to ask the court at the right time during the trial. If you do not ask, the judge is not required to give the limiting instruction on their own.
