Media - Cautionary
During the time you serve on this jury, there may be newspaper, radio, or television reports about this case. There might also be reports on the Internet. You may be tempted to read, listen to, or watch them. You must not do so. Fairness requires that you decide this case solely on the evidence presented in the court room.
If you read, listen to or watch these reports, you may be exposed to misleading or inaccurate information. The reports might unfairly favor one side of the case, and the other side will not have a chance to respond. Therefore, you must completely avoid and disregard any of these reports. Reports like these are not evidence. The only information about this case that you can consider will be presented to you in the courtroom. You must let me or my staff know immediately if you or any other jurors see or hear news reports or other reports or comments about the case. It is important that you do so.

Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
