Judge Maryellen Noreika delivered detailed instructions to the jury on Monday for the trial of Hunter Biden. The instructions covered various key points that jurors need to adhere to throughout the trial.
One important aspect outlined in the instructions was the role of the jury. Jurors were reminded of their responsibility to carefully consider the evidence presented during the trial and make their decision based on that evidence.
The instructions also addressed the conduct of the jury. Jurors were advised to maintain impartiality, avoid discussing the case with others, and refrain from conducting independent research.
Furthermore, the instructions touched upon the topic of questions by jurors. The court clarified that jurors would not have access to a written transcript of the testimony and emphasized the importance of paying close attention to the testimony as it is presented.
Additionally, the instructions permitted jurors to take notes during the trial. This allowance aimed to assist jurors in recalling key details and evidence when deliberating on the case.
As the trial progresses, jurors are expected to adhere to the guidelines provided in the instructions to ensure a fair and just decision at the conclusion of the proceedings.
