Rule 292. Verdict by Portion of Original Jury (1973)

TEXT

A verdict may be rendered in any cause by the concurrence, as to each and all answers made, of the same ten members of an original jury of twelve or of the same five members of an original jury of six. However, where as many as three jurors die or be disabled from sitting and there are only nine of the jurors remaining of an original jury of twelve, those remaining may render and return a verdict. If less than the original twelve or six jurors render a verdict, the verdict must be signed by each juror concurring therein.

Amended by order of Oct. 3, 1972, eff. Feb. 1, 1973: The first sentence providing for rendition of a verdict by ten members of an original jury of twelve and by five members of an original jury of six has been inserted, and the third sentence has been rewritten to require that any verdict rendered by less than the original twelve or six jurors be signed by each juror concurring therein.
