CALCRIM No. 3590
Final Instruction on Discharge of Jury
Y ou have now completed your jury service in this case. On behalf of all
the judges of the court, please accept my thanks for your time and
effort.
Now that the case is over, you may choose whether or not to discuss the
case and your deliberations with anyone.
[I remind you that under California law, you must wait at least 90 days
before negotiating or agreeing to accept any payment for information
about the case.]
Let me tell you about some rules the law puts in place for your
convenience and protection.
The lawyers in this case, the defendant[s], or their representatives may
now talk to you about the case, including your deliberations or verdict.
Those discussions must occur at a reasonable time and place and with
your consent.
Please tell me immediately if anyone unreasonably contacts you without
your consent.
Anyone who violates these rules is violating a court order and may be
fined.
[I order that the court’s record of personal juror identifying information,
including names, addresses, and telephone numbers, be sealed until
further order of this court.
If, in the future, the court is asked to decide whether this information
will be released, notice will be sent to any juror whose information is
involved. Y ou may oppose the release of this information and ask that
any hearing on the release be closed to the public. The court will decide
whether and under what conditions any information may be disclosed.]
Again, thank you for your service. Y ou are now excused.
