Jurors who their verdict are always guarded by the court ushers, who must ensure that no onе                        or interferes with them while they                              . They may not discuss the case with anyone – even family or friends – for they must not allow their decision                           by people who have not heard all the evidence as jurors.

If the jury needs a long time to reach their verdict, they may be allowed                          and go home, and come back the next day to continue their decision. In some particularly serious or sensitive cases, which                                 , they may have to spend the night in a hotel                                  of the ushers.

If a jury cannot reach                                       (the verdict must be one on which at leas 10 of the jurors agreed), there may be a re-trial. If after a re-trial the second jury also disagrees, the prosecution will then drop the case and offer no further evidence.
