Haw. Civil Jury Instr. 9.3

Remember that you are the judges of the facts in this case.

Your only interest is to seek the truth from the evidence

presented.

From the time you retire to the jury room to begin your

deliberations until you complete your deliberations, it is

necessary that you remain together as a body. You should not

discuss the case with anyone other than your fellow jurors. If

it becomes necessary for you to communicate with me during your

deliberations, you may send a note by the bailiff.

Your verdict will consist of answers to the questions on

the verdict form. You will answer the questions according to

the instructions I have given you and according to the

directions contained in the verdict form.

At least ten of you must agree on each answer required by

the verdict form. The same ten jurors need not agree on all

answers, but at least ten jurors must agree on each answer.

Each of the ten must be able to state, when you return to the

courtroom after a verdict is reached, that his or her vote is

expressed in the answer on the verdict form.

As soon as ten or more of you agree upon each answer

required by the directions in the verdict form, the form should

be dated and signed by your foreperson. The foreperson will

then notify the bailiff by a written communication that (1) the

jury has reached a verdict; and (2) at least ten of the jurors

have agreed as to each answer required by the verdict form. The

bailiff will then arrange to have you return with the verdict

form to the courtroom.

Bear in mind that you are not to reveal to the court or

anyone else how the jury stands on the verdict until at least

ten of you (and I repeat, at least ten of you) have agreed on

it.
