Comment on How come in court counsel can object to what one says or shows and the judge will say sustained and the jury disregard. How in the hell does a jury just auto take it out of their memory?

Context. Usually if the jury is around during evidentiary objections it’s because a witness is on the stand and what’s being objected to is the addition to witness testimony to the transcript of the hearing. When the jury goes into deliberations they can ask for the transcript to be read back to them. That transcript is the jury’s memory and why we’re able to work around a standard of “reasonable” doubt.
