After the jury has retired for deliberation, if there is any disagreement between them as to the testimony, if they desire to be informed on any point of law arising in the case, or request to view any evidence that was not taken into the jury room, they must summon the bailiff with the use of the buzzer, and inform the judge in writing of their request.
Counsel and defendants are required to be present unless stipulations are granted for either or all parties to be excused from the proceedings. The jury is brought into the courtroom once the court is prepared to give the information requested by the jury.
