CALCRIM No. 3575
Substitution of Alternate Juror: During Deliberations (Pen.
Code, § 1089)
One of your fellow jurors has been excused and an alternate juror has
been selected to join the jury.
Do not consider this substitution for any purpose.
The alternate juror must participate fully in the deliberations that lead
to any verdict. The People and the defendant[s] have the right to a
verdict reached only after full participation of the jurors whose votes
determine that verdict. This right will only be assured if you begin your
deliberations again, from the beginning. Therefore, you must set aside
and disregard all past deliberations and begin your deliberations all over
again. Each of you must disregard the earlier deliberations and decide
this case as if those earlier deliberations had not taken place.
Now, please return to the jury room and start your deliberations from
the beginning.
