1 sentence

2018Once the objection was sustained, C.W.’s and V.E.’s testimonies did not suggest Jordan was a “bad man who lied,” but simply explained that they spoke to police after “read[ing] some things” or reading an article that caused them to no longer be concerned about “the children.” Additionally, prior to deliberations, the court instructed the jury as follows: “If the court sustained an objection to a lawyer’s question, you must disregard it and any answer given.” We presume the jury followed the instruction and did not consider the answer suggesting Jordan was untruthful.3 See State v. Newell, 212

2009Because we must presume the jury followed this instruction, State v. McCurdy, 216 Ariz. 567, 574, ¶ 17 , 169 P.3d 931, 938 (App.2007), any danger the jury would use the letter as evidence of SWA’s actions on September 11, 1999 or any other day was negligible. 4 ¶ 17 Third, Hood, SWA’s attorney, testified he was unaware of the prevalent problem mentioned in the letter, explicitly dispelling any notion that SWA had experienced such problems. ¶ 18 For these reasons, the trial court did not err by admitting the FAA letter in evidence.
