First Recess
We are about to take our first break in this trial.
Remember, until the trial is over, you are not to discuss
this case with anyone, including your fellow jurors. If
anyone approaches you and tries to talk to you about
the case, advise me about it immediately. Do not read
or listen to any news reports of the trial or use any
technology tools to do independent research. Remember
to keep an open mind until all the evidence has been
received. Finally, do not speak with anyone in or around
the courthouse other than your fellow jurors or court
personnel.
