3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 4.06
Audio/Video Recordings - Transcripts
You have heard (audio)(video) recordings that were received in
evidence, and you were given written transcripts of the recordings.
Keep in mind that the transcripts are not evidence. They were given to
you only as a guide to help you follow what was being said. The recordings
themselves are the evidence. If you noticed any differences between what you
heard on the recordings and what you read in the transcripts, you must rely
on what you heard, not what you read. And if you could not 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
you actually heard speaking in the recording. The names on the transcript were
used simply for your convenience.]

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.
