Recorded statement—jury trial
81I Recorded statement—jury trial
This section applies if—
a family violence offence proceeding is a trial by jury; and
a recorded statement is admitted in evidence in the proceeding.
The court must tell the jury that—
admission of a recorded statement is a usual practice; and
the jury must not draw any inference against the accused person, or give the evidence more or less weight, because the evidence is given in that way.
If the court considers that a transcript of the recorded statement would be likely to help the jury’s understanding of the evidence, the court may order that the transcript be made available to the jury.
