    6  information sought to be judicially noticed under this section
    7  should be judicially noticed. The rebuttable presumption may be
    8  overcome if the court finds by the greater weight of the
    9  evidence that the information does not fairly and accurately
   10  portray what it is being offered to prove or that it otherwise
   11  should not be admitted into evidence under the Florida Evidence
   12  Code.
   13         (c) If the court overrules the objection, the court must
   14  take judicial notice of the information and admit the
   15  information into evidence.
   16         (3) In criminal cases, the court must instruct the jury
   17  that the jury may or may not accept the noticed facts as
   18  conclusive.
