FAQ
Under our law, the first juror selected is known as the foreperson. During deliberations, the foreperson's opinion and vote are not entitled to any more importance than that of any other juror.
The first person selected as a juror will act as the foreperson of the jury. Their role is to write the jury's decision (guilty or not guilty) against the charges on the Issue Paper (a form that the charges against the defendants are listed on) and to announce the verdict in open court.
The jury consists of 12 members of the public who sit in a box to one side of the judge. One of the jurors is selected as a foreman of the jury by the members of the jury before the case starts. He or she acts as an informal chairperson and spokesperson for the jury.
The foreperson should: • Encourage discussions that include all jurors. Keep the deliberations focused on the evidence and the law. Let the court know when there are any questions or problems. Tell the court when a verdict has been reached.
The foreperson will be asked whether the jury has reached a verdict. If the foreperson says yes, he/she will then be asked what the verdict is for the/each charged crime considered in ance with my instructions. After that, the entire jury will be asked whether that is their verdict and will answer yes or no.
