Alaska Criminal Pattern Jury Instruction 1.05
Note-taking
You have been given notebooks and pencils. If you wish to do so, you may take notes during the trial to help you remember the evidence. But your primary function is to see and hear the witnesses and observe other evidence. Do not let note-taking interfere with your careful consideration of the evidence.
Each time that you are excused from the courtroom, please leave your notebook behind. Your notes will be kept secure and will not be read by anyone.
When you begin your deliberations, you may have your notes with you. If there is a disagreement during deliberations as to what any witness said, you may try to resolve it by comparing recollections with other jurors or by asking to listen to the recorded testimony of any witness. Remember that a juror’s notes are not evidence, and they may be incomplete. A juror’s notes can only be used as a memory aid for that juror
When the case is over, your notebooks will be collected and destroyed without being read by anyone.
