11th Cir. Pattern Jury Instr. (Criminal) B12
Verdict
When you get to the jury room, choose one of your members to act as
foreperson. The foreperson will direct your deliberations and will speak for you in
court.
A verdict form has been prepared for your convenience.
[Explain verdict]
Take the verdict form with you to the jury room. When you’ve all agreed on
the verdict, your foreperson must fill in the form, sign it, date it, and carry it. Then
you’ll return it to the courtroom.
If you wish to communicate with me at any time, please write down your
message or question and give it to the marshal. The marshal will bring it to me and
I’ll respond as promptly as possible – either in writing or by talking to you in the
courtroom. But I caution you not to tell me how many jurors have voted one way
or the other at that time.
