3.8 Continuing Deliberations after Juror Is Discharged is a process that occurs when a juror is removed from a jury after deliberations have already begun. In this situation, the jury must continue its deliberations without the discharged juror present. Depending on the jurisdiction, there are two common types of Continuing Deliberations after Juror Is Discharged: Majority Verdict and Full Verdict. In Majority Verdict, the jury can reach a decision with fewer than 12 jurors if all the remaining jurors agree on a verdict. This is the most common approach to Continuing Deliberations after Juror Is Discharged, and most jurisdictions require a 9-3 or 10-2 majority to reach a verdict. In Full Verdict, the jury must reach a unanimous verdict in order for a decision to be considered valid. This approach is less common than Majority Verdict, but some jurisdictions require that the jury reach a unanimous decision before a verdict can be reached. No matter which approach is used, the court will require that the jury be instructed to continue its deliberations in good faith and to consider only the evidence that was presented during the trial. The court will also review the jury’s verdict to ensure that it was validly made.
