Going through the L. Jean Carroll docket, I came across this bit from the SDNY jury instructions where the foreperson has to "clutch the envelope [with the completed verdict form] to your heart" when returning it to the courtroom.

(Both sides included the same language in their proposed instructions.)

@mattblaze

Interesting they refer to using the instructions from the Kevin Spacey case vs any other case.

Edit: Fowler is Spacey which I did not know without looking it up.

@adrcatgul Yeah, and that was a recent case, so this seems to be something new (and seems to be unique to SDNY).
