Yes, you press the button in the deliberation room to say you have reached a verdict. Usher tells the judge and if the court is ready (sometimes need some time to get everyone sorted) you are taken down. Foreperson is asked if the jury have reached verdicts and the it's very quick.Sorry to ask a question that’s already been I’m asked I’m sure - so do the jury just tell the usher in the room with them that they’ve reached a verdict? And then they tell the judge? And then the judge calls them back in when ready?
and then the verdict is announced by the spokesperson for the jury there and then in the court room for the first time? And nobody knowsthe verdicts before rhen?
is that roughly what happens?
so could the jury have said they’re in agreement…dismissed for lunch to be backfor this afternoon?
On count 1, how do you find the defendant?

It's very quick and very clinical. There is no stopping for people getting emotional.
