3d Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 9.09
Return to Deliberations After Polling
When I polled the jury one of your members gave an answer which
indicates that you may not have reached a unanimous verdict. For this reason,
I am asking you to return to the jury room to consider your verdict further.
Whenever you have reached a unanimous verdict, you may return it in court.
If you are not unanimous in your verdict, then you should continue your
deliberations.
After you return to the jury room, please try to reach a unanimous
verdict. Each of you is free to change your vote on any issue submitted to the
jury for decision. You may change your vote at any time until I discharge the
jury.
