Conn. Practice Book § 42-21
Jury Deliberations
After the case has been submitted to the jury,
the jurors shall be in the custody of an officer who
shall permit no person to be present with them or
to speak to them when assembled for delibera -
tions except a qualified interpreter assisting a juror
who is deaf or hard of hearing. The jurors shall
be kept together for deliberations as the judicial
authority reasonably directs. If the judicial authority permits the jury to recess its deliberations, the
judicial authority shall admonish the jurors not to
discuss the case until they reconvene in the jury
room. The judicial authority shall direct the jurors
to select one of their members to preside over the
deliberations and to deliver any verdict agreed
upon, and the judicial authority shall admonish the
jurors that until they are discharged in the case
they may communicate upon subjects connected
with the trial only while they are convened in the
jury room. If written forms of verdict are submitted
to the jury pursuant to Section 42-23, the member
of the jury selected to deliver the verdict shall sign
any verdict agreed upon.
