depositions, transcripts and prepared testimony. Although some states do not allow them to take in
depositions. Some states allow jurors to take notes during the trial and take them with them.

with a new jury, since this step is both time-consuming and expensive. Most judges will do their utmost
to encourage a jury to reach a verdict.
