10th Cir. Crim. Pattern Jury Instr. 1.44
COMMUNICATION WITH THE COURT
If you want to communicate with me at any time during your
deliberations, please write down your message or question and
give it to [the marshal] [the bailiff or court security officer] [my
law clerk], who will bring it to my attention. I will respond as
promptly as possible, either in writing or by having you return to
the courtroom so that I can address you orally. I caution you,
however, that with any message or question you might send, you
should not tell me any details of your deliberations or indicate how
many of you are voting in a particular way on any issue.
Let me remind you again that nothing I have said in these
instructions, nor anything I have said or done during the trial and
sentencing proceedings, was meant to suggest to you what I think
your decision should be. That is your exclusive responsibility.
