This bill proposes to amend section 1-302 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically relating to the instructions given to a jury during deliberation. The current law states that the court gives instructions to a jury "upon its request," which would be updated to specify that the instructions are provided "on the jury's request."
The bill does not alter any other existing language in the statute, ensuring that the core provisions remain intact while clarifying the phrasing regarding jury instructions. This change aims to enhance the clarity of the statute without making substantial modifications to its intent or application.
