Waco – Jurors seeking a breath of fresh air sometimes stand at the top of the steps, outside the doors almost never used that give on the third floor rotunda of the McLennan County Courthouse and a porch overlooking a set of steep granite steps to the sidewalk far below.
They stand and sit – as a group – taking the air, looking down at the square, on the square, in the square, hewn from the rock, high among the boughs of the pecan trees that stud the terraced lawn of the Victorian-era building, the people’s palace of justice.
For an estimated five weeks forecast by the officers of the Court, they have done everything as a group, waiting for their summons to the Courtroom, their arrival and departure to and from the building under tight security precautions, their midmorning and mid afternoon coffee and bathroom breaks, luncheon hours, removal for discussions by counselors and judge held outside their presence, all sequestered together until the end of the day when following their recess for the day, they are released at a remote and confidential location.
And now, for the jury that has sat so patiently through all the moments of the case of State of Texas v. Christopher Jacob Carrizal, Cause No. 2015 -2263 – C2, the end is in sight, the moment when the “People of the State of Texas” tender their case to the jury with instructions from the Honorable Judge of the 54th Criminal District Court, County of McLennan, State of T – E – X – A – S, Matt Johnson.
“After the cross examination,” he told attorneys after the jurors had been recessed at 5 pm on Tuesday, November 8, he will read the jurors their instructions, a task he estimates will take the better part of an hour, to be enunciated in all its particulars, aloud, and with precision.
It is a group effort, to draft such a necessary document, requiring the assent of all parties, We The People of the State, the Defendant Jake Carrizal and his legal counsel, and the Honorable Judge of said Court.
This is the part of the story almost never told in courtroom dramas, television presentations, historical documentaries, and yet it is the most important element of the proceeding, the criminal trial by jury, the jury charge, the instructions by which they must render a verdict of guilt or innocence – and how they are to do that.

the instructions by which they must render a verdict of guilt or innocence – and how they are to do that.
We call this Jury Tampering, Check the record and you will find the “Jury” has the ABSOLUTE Right to judge the “Law” as well as the “facts” in evidence.
Our own Supreme Court has Affirmed this position numerous times throughout history.

Yet, the court (unlike your Miranda rights) need not remind you of the same.
