Judge Juan Merchan has instructed jurors in the ongoing trial that any notes they have taken are intended for their personal recollection only. The notes cannot be shared with other jurors or be used as a substitute for the evidence and testimony presented in court.
It is common practice for jurors to take notes during trials to help them remember key details and arguments. However, Judge Merchan's reminder serves as a precaution to ensure that each juror's decision is based solely on the information presented in court.
