In a jury trial, there are certain things that jurors may not be told.
These include:
The defendant's criminal record: In most cases, jurors may not be told about the defendant's criminal record, as it may prejudice the jury against the defendant.
The defendant's insurance: Jurors may not be told about the defendant's insurance or the amount of the policy limits.
The judge's opinion or bias: The judge may not express their opinion or bias towards the case or the parties.
