>actually, during the trial the Juror's can send questions to the Judge. A couple years ago when I was on a drunk driving case, I did exactly that, and after the next break there was testimony on exactly what I had asked about.
Wow. I had no idea that such things happened. I thought that jurors were only allowed to ask about evidence already introduced and points of law. I wonder how general this is in US jurisdictions.
>There are a LOT of landmines out there if the Jury starts investigating.
True. But as long as jury questions are mediated by the judge, it doesn't seem like that much of a problem (except for the judge, that is).

you can ask anything you want, it may be that the Judge decides not to do anything with the request, but you can ask :-)
