How come in court counsel can object to what one says or shows and the judge will say sustained and the jury disregard. How in the hell does a jury just auto take it out of their memory?

I say on a murder trial and we saw no transcript. We could have asked for certain sections to be read to us if we wanted. Wait… We could have asked (you can ask for anything), no idea if the judge would have done it.

You’re correct. They’ll read the transcript to you if asked, but can’t provide a written copy of it for the jury to keep and reference.

The transcript is typed by a stenographer, so good luck reading it anyway.
