1.16.050 Verdict

The jury must render a verdict of "guilty" or "not guilty", which imports a conviction or acquittal on every material allegation in the complaint. The verdict in all criminal actions must be unanimous.

The jury cannot be discharged after the case is submitted to them until they have agreed upon their verdict and rendered it in open court, unless, at the expiration of such time as the court may deem proper, it satisfactorily appears that there is no reasonable possibility that the jury can agree.

In cases where a jury is discharged in this manner, the case may be again tried.
