I have a question. I watched a lot of the last day, but not all of it. Are the jury instructions given in the jury room away from the cameras? Is that something we would not have seen (I didn’t see anything like that). I am curious what they were told in that regard because I did hear at least one (but I think 2) talk about “beyond a shadow of a doubt” which is NOT the burden of proof.
The judge reads the instructions in open court. Some states provide every juror with their own copy. From the juror comments I heard, they were definitely confused about the burden of proof. Defense attorneys try to convince juries it’s an impossible burden.
