It's a pretty ****ing simple case. You watch the video of the murder and you vote Guilty.

Who needs notes?
 
It costs a hell of a lot of money to produce a transcript, but it would be easy enough to show them video footage of the trail.
 
A guilty verdict should be obvious for anyone who paid attention, but the reality is that most high profile cases have someone transcribing the events.
 
Who says the jury can't have notes? They're allowed to use their notes they took during the trial.

What they can't have is a transcript of the trial, they have to rely on their personal notes, the collective memory of the jury, and the exhibits in evidence.

Every criminal trial has a court reporter transcribing IIUC.
 
What do you mean "can't have notes"?

Are you saying the judge let the jury take their own notes and has decided they can't bring them into the jury room? That'd be odd. Typically, you tell the jury that it's their collective memory that controls, that they may use their own notes as an aid, but if their memory conflicts with another juror's notes, they are to trust their memory.

OP is confused. They can have their notes, Judge Cahill said they can't have a trial transcript.
 
There is no point, only incorrect information causing confusion.

I have no clue what that is supposed to mean.
