3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 2.07
Audio/Video Recordings - Transcripts
You are about to hear (audio)(video) recordings that were received in
evidence, and you will be given written transcripts of the recordings.
Keep in mind that the transcripts are not evidence. They are being
given to you only as a guide to help you follow what was being said. The
recordings themselves are the evidence. If you notice any differences between
what you hear in the recordings and what you read in the transcripts, you
must rely on what you hear, not what you read. And if you cannot hear or
understand certain parts of the recordings, you must ignore the transcripts as
far as those parts are concerned.
[The transcripts name the speakers. But remember, you must decide who is
actually speaking in the recording. The names on the transcript are used simply
for your convenience.]

The link goes to the issuing authority’s own document — the one we read to produce this record. Where a source publishes whole titles rather than sections, your browser may need a moment to jump to the provision.
Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
