Relates to jury deliberations

This bill (A 1471, the "Tiarah Poyau Act") amends criminal procedure law to allow courts to provide juries with written instructions about the legal elements of offenses or defenses when requested during deliberations. It requires courts to give written instructions only after letting defense and prosecution attorneys review them, mark them as exhibits, and read them to the jury. The bill directly affects juries and judges in criminal trials by changing how juries can seek clarification on legal standards. It does not alter trial procedures but adds a specific mechanism for written jury instruction requests with safeguards for legal review.
