Supplemental instructions in response to juror questions are additional instructions given to the jury, in response to questions posed by the jury during trial. These instructions are intended to provide more specific guidance on the law that applies to the case, and may involve clarifying the instructions given during jury instructions, providing additional legal definitions, or making specific applications of the law to the facts of the case. There are two types of supplemental instructions in response to juror questions: 1. Interim Instructions: These are instructions given during the trial when the jury poses a question that needs an immediate answer. The judge will provide instructions that can assist the jury in understanding the evidence presented and that will help them to decide the case. 2. Final Instructions: These are instructions given after the jury has completed their deliberations. The judge will provide a more comprehensive explanation of the law that applies to the case, and will make specific applications of the law to the facts of the case. These instructions will help the jury to reach a verdict that is consistent with the law.
