General Principles

See also: Jury Instructions

Deadlocked Juries

Where the jury is deadlocked the judge may give an exhortation to encourage the jury to make effort to reach an agreement. The judge must be careful and balanced during the exhortation to a deadlocked jury. The jury will likely be frustrated and disgruntled and so must be handled appropriately.^[1] The exhortation must be phrased carefully so as not to be seen as "coercive" and imposing "extraneous pressures" that remove the freedom of the jurors to deliberate uninfluenced.^[2]

The judge should not do anything that may treat particular jurors as misunderstood or that pits one jurors against the others.^[3]

It is not relevant to examine whether the jurors were affected by any of the instructions of the judge.^[4]

The judge must make it clear to the jury throughout his instructions that they are "not obliged to render a verdict" if they cannot reach a consensus.^[5]

Analysis

The test to be applied is "whether there is a possibility that what the trial judge said could have persuaded a juror to go along with the majority notwithstanding that he or she had not been persuaded that guilt had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt".^[6]

Factors

A reviewing court can consider the "entire sequence of events" that lead up to the judge's direction at issue.^[7]

Examples

Suggesting to the jury that they will be sequestered longer if they are unable to reach an agreement is considered coercive.^[8]

Jury Questions

During the deliberations of a jury, they are permitted to submit questions to the court and counsel. Jury questions indicate some of the problems the jurors are having in deliberating and seek help from the trial judge.^[1]

Procedure in Considering Questions

When a judge receives a question from the jury, they should:^[2]

read the communication in open court in the presence of all parties;
give counsel an opportunity to make submissions in open court prior to dealing with the question;
answer the question for the jury in open court in the presence of all parties.

Importance of Answers

Answers to questions carry "an influence far exceeding instructions given".^[3]

Unclear Question

Where a jury question is unclear, the judge should seek clarification before attempting to provide an answer.^[4]

Requirements of Answer

Jury questions must be answered "clearly, correctly and comprehensively".^[5]

A proper answer should improve the jury’s “understanding of the particular aspects of the evidence that bear on their decision on each essential issue in the case.”^[6]

However, the response should be timely as well. Delay without instructions the jury to cease deliberations where the question reflects a misunderstanding is open to risk of corrupting the verdict.^[7]

In responding to a jury question, it is often advisable that the judge invite the jury to return with further questions if the response does not assist.^[8]

Mode of Communication with Jury

A judge should not communicate with the jury by sending notes with unsolicited information without the input on counsel.^[9]

Effects of Errors

Any errors in a response to a jury cannot be remedied simply by referring back to the correctness of original charge.^[10]

Improper Answers

An answer should never discourage further questions on any subject.^[11]

Specific Problems

In answering a question regarding the standard of proof of "beyond a reasonable doubt", there is nothing per se wrong with simply reciting the standard anew.^[12]

It is an inadequate answer to respond "yes" to the jury question that I asked "do we consider all of the evidence for all charges?".^[13]

Answer Need Not Conform to Theory of Parties

A question may find it necessary to "instruct the jury in a manner that does not accord with the theory advanced by either Crown or defence counsel".^[14] This is permissible because the jury is not bound by the opposing theories of Crown and defence.^[15] However, limitations exist on this flexibility for the purpose of preserving trial fairness.^[16]

Failing to Answer Jury Questions

Where a jury asks a question and then withdraws before it is answered by the judge will not render the verdict invalid. The judge need not answer the question for the jury.^[1]

A jury may withdraw a question simply by announcing it is ready to give a verdict.^[2]

It may be recommended that once the jury is ready despite not having the question answered, that the court canvas both counsel and the jury about whether the question should still be answered.^[3]

↑ R v Jones, 2011 ONCA 584 (CanLII), per Laskin JA (3:0), at paras 55, 56

Recharge of Jury

The answer may result in a "recharge" of the jury. These recharges "must be correct and comprehensive no matter how exemplary the original charge may have been".^[1]

An error in recharge cannot be forgiven simply because the original charge was correct.^[2] In fact, the more time that passes between the original charge and recharge, the greater imperative that the recharge be "correct and comprehensive".^[3]
