Section 546.15 Jurors May Take Certain Papers

546.15 JURORS MAY TAKE CERTAIN PAPERS.

On retiring for deliberation, the jury may take with them all papers received in evidence except depositions; but the court may direct that copies be made for their use of such records and documents as ought not, in its judgment, to be taken from those entitled to their possession. The jurors may also take with them notes of the testimony and proceedings made by themselves, but none others. All such papers, except the notes aforesaid, shall be returned to the court administrator before the jurors are discharged.
