The instructions for a Virginia civil jury generally differ from those given to a criminal jury. A jury for the Virginia Circuit civil court contains 5 jurors. For a conviction to be made, all members of the jury must come to a unanimous decision.
A hung jury, also known as a deadlocked jury, is a jury whose members are unable to agree on a verdict by the required voting margin after extensive deliberations, resulting in a mistrial.
A deadlocked jury is unable to reach a verdict by the required unanimity. In California, if a jury (all 12 jurors) in a criminal murder trial cannot all agree to a guilty verdict on a first degree murder charge after 10 days of jury deliberation it is fair to say that the jury is deadlocked.
You will be reimbursed $30 per day for attendance for each day you must report to the courthouse. This amount is set by the state legislature. How long will I be in jury service? Jurors serve for one term of court.
Disqualified from service: Under Virginia law, you can not serve on a jury if (1) you have been adjudicated incapacitated; (2) you have been convicted of treason or a felony; or (3) any other person under a disability as defined in Virginia Code § 8.01-2 and not included in subdivisions 1 or 2.
A hung jury, also called a deadlocked jury, is a judicial jury that cannot agree upon a verdict after extended deliberation and is unable to reach the required unanimity or supermajority. Hung jury usually results in the case being tried again.
In the state of Virginia, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, state police, police in counties, cities and towns, the superintendent of the penitentiary and his assistants and persons composing the guard, and jail officers are all exempt from serving on a jury.
You can ask to be excused from jury service if you're over 70 years old.
There are three groups that are exempt from federal jury service: members of the armed forces on active duty; members of professional fire and police departments; and. "public officers" of federal, state or local governments, who are actively engaged full-time in the performance of public duties.
What happens if you just don't show up for jury duty? You'll likely be summoned to court to explain yourself. If the judge doesn't accept your excuses, you could be fined anywhere between $50.00 and $200.00.
