Art. 1795 Jury request to review testimony

When a jury is deliberating and can't remember or agree on what a witness said, they can ask to hear that testimony again. If this happens, the jury is brought back into the courtroom to make this request.

The judge must tell both sides in the case before doing anything. Once the parties know about the request, the judge has the option to have the testimony read back to the jury. This gives everyone a chance to weigh in before the testimony is repeated.

This process helps make sure the jury has accurate information to make their decision, while also keeping both sides informed about what's happening during deliberations.
