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 Seems like exposing cardiac tissue just to deliver a verdict is inefficient, dangerous, messy, and horribly grisly. I would refuse to be foreperson.
