Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 767 Filed 08/10/22 Page 249 of 257 3083 LCKCmax9 Charge 1 conscientious belief as to how the issues should be decided. 2 Thus, the verdict must represent the considered judgment of each juror. In order to return a verdict, it is necessary that each juror agree to it. Your verdict must be unanimous. 3 If at any time you are divided, do not report how the vote stands, and if you have reached a verdict, do not report what it is until you are asked in open court. 4 A verdict form has been prepared for your convenience. After you've reached your decision, your foreperson will fill in the form. At that point, the foreperson should advise the marshal outside your door that you are ready to return to the courtroom. 5 Finally, I say this not because I think it necessary, but because it is the custom in this courthouse to say this: You should treat each other with courtesy and respect during your deliberations. 6 In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, I am sure that if you listen to the views of your fellow jurors and if you apply your own common sense, you will deliberate fairly. 7 Members of the jury, I ask your patience for a few minutes longer. It's necessary for me to spend a few moments with counsel and the reporter at sidebar. I'll ask you to remain patiently in the jury box without speaking to each other and we will return in just a moment to submit the case to you. SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.
