“Ladies and gentlemen, as I have already instructed you, in order to return a verdict, all 12 jurors must agree to a verdict of guilty or not guilty. It is the law, and I instruct you, that jurors have a duty to consult with one another and to deliberate with a view of reaching an agreement, if it can be done without violence to individual judgment. Each juror must decide the case for himself or herself, but only after impartial consideration of the evidence with his or her fellow jurors. In the course of deliberation, a juror should not hesitate to reexamine his or her own views, and change his or her opinion if convinced.it is erroneous. And no juror should surrender his or her honest conviction as to the weight or the effect of the evidence solely because of the opinion of his or her fellow jurors, or for the mere purpose of returning a verdict.”
