Judge Charles P. Kocoras

If you do, however, the only proper way is to give the Court Security Officer a written request, signed by the foreperson, or by some other juror if the foreperson is unwilling to do so.

I caution you, however, with regard to any message or question you might send, that you should never state or specify your numerical division at the time.

I do not anticipate that you will need to communicate with me. If you do need to communicate with me, the only proper way is in writing. The writing must be signed by the presiding juror, or, if he or she is unwilling to do so, by some other juror. The writing should be given to the marshal, who will give it to me. I will respond either in writing or by having you return to the courtroom so that I can respond orally.
