3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 9.08
Partial Verdict
Members of the jury, you do not have to reach unanimous agreement on all
the charges before returning a verdict on some of them. If you have reached
unanimous agreement on some of the charges, you may return a verdict on those
charges, and then continue deliberating on the others. You do not have to do this,
but you can if you wish.
You should understand that if you choose to return a verdict on some of the
charges now, that verdict will be final. You will not be able to change your minds
about it later on.
Your other option is to wait until the end of your deliberations, and return all
your verdicts then. The choice is yours.
I would ask that you now return to the jury room and resume your
deliberations.
