Decision Date: 
Thursday, September 24, 2020
District: 
3d Dist.
Holding: 
Appellate court reversed; circuit court affirmed.
Justice: 
KARMEIER

After jury had retired to deliberate, court granted jury's request to review a video recording in evidence but played the video for the jury in the courtroom with the court, parties, and alternate jurors present. No error by court, because deliberations were not taking place while jurors were watching the video.  (A. BURKE, KILBRIDE, GARMAN, THEIS, NEVILLE, and M. BURKE, concurring).
