in writing or by having you return to the courtroom so I can
speak with you in person. In any communication, please do not
tell me or anyone else how the jury stands on the issue of the
jury's verdict until after a unanimous verdict is reached.
For those of you who took notes during the course of
the trial, you should not show your notes to or discuss your
notes with any other juror during your deliberations. Any
notes you have taken are to assist you and you alone. The fact
that a particular juror has taken notes entitles that juror's
views to no greater weight than those of any other juror.
Finally, your notes are not to substitute for your
recollection of the evidence in this case. If you have any
doubt as to any testimony, you may request that the official
transcript that has been made of these proceedings be read or
otherwise provided to you.
Concluding Remarks.
Members of the jury, that about concludes my
instructions to you. The most important part of this case,
members of the jury, is the part that you, as jurors, are now
about to play as you deliberate on the issues of fact. It's
for you and you alone to weigh the evidence in this case and
determine whether the government has proved beyond a reasonable
doubt each of the essential elements of the crime with which
Ms. Maxwell is charged. If the government has succeeded, your
verdict should be guilty as to that charge. If it has failed,
speak with you in person. In any communication, please do not
tell me or anyone else how the jury stands on the issue of the
jury's verdict until after a unanimous verdict is reached.
