In what circumstances will a jury be allowed to consider supplemental instructions to the jury during deliberations?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. De Leo, 886 F.2d 1320 (9th Cir. 1989):
In this case, the trial court provided supplemental instructions in response to questions from the jury during deliberations. A supplemental charge is in addition to the original instructions and is not an independent charge. Reversible error does not occur so long as the combined instructions reviewed as a whole accurately reflect the legal issues. United States v. Nickerson, 669 F.2d 1016, 1021 (5th Cir.1982). The instructions taken as a whole correctly presented the law to the jury.
