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 and date 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 court security officer. The court security officer will bring it to me and I’ll respond as promptly as possible – either in writing or by talking to you in the courtroom. Please understand that I may have to talk to the lawyers and the parties before I respond to your question or message, so you should be patient as you await my response. But I caution you not to tell me how many jurors have voted one way or the other at that time. That type of information should remain in the jury room and not be shared with anyone, including me, in your note or question.
