“A juror who wants to ask a question of a witness must wait until both lawyers have completed their questioning of that witness. If at that time the juror still has some question, the juror will be given an opportunity to write it out and submit it to the court so that it can be decided whether the question is legally proper.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"All courts are not in agreement on what to do in case a juror wants to question a witness. How the matter is handled is usually discretionary with the trial judge; however, it is advisable that a judge should not encourage jurors to ask questions of witnesses since it usually only interrupts the trial and the questions will be cleared up as the matter proceeds. When there remains a real need to satisfy a juror's question on a particular point, then the above instruction should he given. This procedure allows the trial court to keep strict control of questions to be asked and obviates the element of oppression on counsel who may he reluctant to object to a question asked by a juror."”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Since due process requires a fair trial before a fair and impartial jury, the judicial process is better served by the time-honored practice of counsel eliciting evidence which is heard, evaluated, and acted upon by jurors who have no investment in obtaining answers to questions they have posed. . . . A change in the system whereby jurors become advocates and possible antagonists of the witness does not on its face suggest a more reliable truth-seeking procedure.”
