RULE 48. JURY VERDICTS.

1. There shall be six (6) jurors chosen to hear a case.  In addition, the Court may allow the selection of one or more alternate jurors in the event the Court anticipates a lengthy trial.  In the event an alternate juror is chosen and hears the case, he shall be dismissed at the time the case is submitted to the jury if he is not needed.
2. When all or at least five (5) of the six (6) jury members have agreed on a verdict, they shall so inform the bailiff who shall notify the Court.  The jury shall return to the Courtroom, and the Clerk shall call the jury roll.  The verdict shall then be given in writing to the Clerk who shall read the same to the Court.  The Judge shall then inquire of the jury foreman as to whether the verdict just read is the true verdict of the jury.  Either party may request that the jury be polled individually to determine if such, in fact, is the jury verdict.  If insufficient jurors agree with the verdict, the jury shall be sent out again to reconsider.  Otherwise, the verdict is complete and the jury shall be dismissed.
