Alaska Criminal Pattern Jury Instruction 1.46
How Jurors Should Approach Their Task
The attitude and conduct of the jurors at the beginning of their deliberations are extremely important. Stating your opinions too strongly or immediately announcing how you intend to vote may interfere with an open discussion about the case. When this is done at the beginning, it may be more difficult to change your position, even if shown that it is wrong. Remember, you are not partisans or advocates, you are judges of the facts.
