Substitution of Alternate Juror: During Deliberations

activein force · 2012-02-10 – presentas-observed

One of your fellow jurors has been excused and an alternate

juror is replacing the excused juror. Do not consider this

substitution for any purpose. Under the law, the alternate

juror must participate fully in the deliberations that lead to

any verdict. The prosecution 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.
