<p begin="00:00:00.25" end="00:00:05.30">This is your legal minute, brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
<p begin="00:00:06.00" end="00:00:10.00">Once a jury has heard all the evidence and arguments in a case,</p>
<p begin="00:00:10.10" end="00:00:15.40">and listened to the judge’s jury instructions, it’s time for the jury to start deliberating.</p>
<p begin="00:00:15.50" end="00:00:20.00">In deliberations, the jury picks a foreperson to guide their discussions.</p>
<p begin="00:00:20.10" end="00:00:24.40">Then the members begin their journey toward a resolution called a “verdict.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:24.50" end="00:00:32.20">In a criminal case, the verdict must be unanimous—either unanimous for “guilty” or unanimous for “not guilty.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:32.30" end="00:00:39.50">If the jury cannot arrive at a unanimous decision, it’s “deadlocked” and the judge declares a mistrial.</p>
<p begin="00:00:39.60" end="00:00:42.40">That’s commonly called a “hung jury.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:42.50" end="00:00:48.50">In a civil case, it generally takes a minimum of six of eight jurors to determine a verdict.</p>
<p begin="00:00:48.60" end="00:00:58.50">In a civil case, the jury does not find guilt or innocence; instead, the jury finds “in favor of the plaintiff” or “in favor of the defendant.”</p>
<p begin="00:00:58.60" end="00:01:05.00">This legal minute is brought to you by the Ohio State Bar Foundation.</p>
