How To Talk To The Judge If You Have Questions Or Concerns About The Trial As A Member Of The Jury

If I have questions or concerns about the trial, how do I talk to the judge?

If the trial is over, and you're in deliberations, let's say first, the trial isn't over, and you have questions about the trial. You can write a note, and send a question to the jury foreman, and say, "Would you ask the judge about this?" You can give a note to the bailiff, "Would you ask the judge about this?" If the judge thinks it's a pertinent question, then the judge will ask one of the attorneys to clarify this for you. If you need to see documents again, say that now you're in the jury room, and you're all deliberating, and there's a disagreement about, did they say he forged twelve checks, or did he forge three, and his girlfriend forged six, and it's unclear. Ask to see the evidence. You have a right to view the evidence while you're deliberating, to make sure you're always clear on the facts. You should make sure you're clear on the facts, because you're about o make a decision about someone's life.
