throughout this process, this rule is very, very important.
That's because your decision in this case must be made solely
on the evidence or lack of evidence presented at this trial.
In other words, all that you need to know will be presented
here in open court by the parties. This is critically
important to ensuring a fair trial, which I know that all of
you would want if you were a party in this court, and I have no
doubt it's what you want for the parties who are here today. I
expect you to inform me immediately through Ms. Williams if you
become aware of another juror's violation of these
instructions.
Finally, each of you either has or will be given a
notebook and pen; and that's because I do permit jurors to take
notes. But you don't have to take notes. Notes are just an
aid to your own recollection. The court reporters in this case
record everything that's said in the courtroom, and any portion
of the testimony can be read back to you during your
deliberations. If you do take notes, be aware that note-taking
may distract you from something important that's happening on
the witness stand. Whether or not you take notes, rely on your
own recollections and don't be influenced by the fact that
another juror has taken notes. If you do take notes, all notes
must be left each day in the jury room. Ms. Williams will make
sure that they are secure.
From this point until the time when you retire to
