Original Note:
Juries in NY are never given written instructions. A 1987 NY Court of Appeals ruling states “distribution of written instructions to the jury is not expressly authorized by law, and error in such submissions cannot be deemed harmless”. Turley is undoubtedly aware of this. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/30/nyregion/written-jury-instructions-trump-judge.html https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/3022243/new-york-jurors-face-tough-task/
