Jury Duty Instructions
Before the trial begins, the judge will give you instructions on your duties as a juror. This will include such things as what will take place during the trial and the hours you will need to be in the courtroom.
You must apply the law to the facts as instructed by the judge. Your duty on the jury is to decide, on the proven facts, whether the case against the accused has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
You are expected to make up your own mind based upon evidence provided at the trial. You are not allowed to discuss any details of the case, including reasons for a verdict, with anyone outside the courtroom.
