UJI 13-2009. Verdict of jury.

On retiring to the jury room, and before commencing your deliberations, you will select one of your members as foreperson. You will be given the Court’s instructions and [a special] verdict form[s]. [In this case it will be necessary for you to answer the preliminary questions presented to you on the verdict form.] Take the time you need to consider whether your verdict might be influenced by stereotypes and biases and reflect carefully and consciously about the evidence. In the course of your deliberations, listen to your fellow jurors, who all have their own lived experiences. Listening to different perspectives with an open mind may help you better identify the possible effects of hidden biases. When as many as [ten] [five] of you have agreed on a verdict [and your answers to the questions presented on the special verdict form], your foreperson must sign the appropriate form[s] and you will all then return to open court.
