When the assize court ruling on appeal is to rule solely on the sentence, the speech to the jurors provided for in Article 304 is amended as follows:
1° The words: “the charges to be brought against X …” are replaced by the words: “the evidence against X which led to his conviction”;
2° The words: “to remind you that the accused is presumed innocent and that doubt must benefit him; to decide on the basis of the charges and the means of defence” are replaced by the words: “to decide on the sentence on the basis of the charges and the means of defence”.
