That's a strange thing to tell them. I've never been on a jury, but don't they usually start with a poll just to see where things stand?
I totally disagree with the way this was handled. Smacks of bias to me, and we have already seen quite a bit of bias in this trial and from this judge.
Proctor would do better finding a safe space with a good therapist specialising in misogynistic issues imo
I am also surprised and curious to know if it's normal. Even with taking notes and not just memory, I've seen first-hand how poor some adults are at doing that.
I think so the key parts stick out. A lot of us have our own different key points so with 12 of them, I think they'll have a good basis covered. I remember from past trials when the jury have requested transcripts during deliberation they were denied.
That's the way every jury I've ever sat on has done it. She also said it was their decision on how to deliberate and then she went on to tell them how to do it.
Agree- hoping for the best, but juries are so unpredictable...
Does this exclude getting a read back in court I wonder? I’ve seen that many times .
My sense of integrity is raging for the people behind John's brother, to be nailed, as they will rage against a NG verdict, it will mean nothing to them.
The jurors can ask for testimony to be read back to them but never as far as I've ever seen given transcripts of testimony.
Official transcripts usually aren't done until weeks or months after the trial is complete. Remember that courtrooms still run on 1950s technology like stenotypes (or stenomasks like in this trial).
I thinks so too. When I was a juror we did.
luckily closing arguments are not evidence,straight from the mouth of the judge though I hope some of the jurors noticed Lally right there illustrating Jackson's closing point that the cw was misleading
I assume they can ask for a read back? I missed instructions. Was that covered about questions.
