*to [[think]] about or [[discuss]] issues and [[decisions]] carefully

Typically, a [[jury]] must come to a unanimous decision before delivering a [[verdict]]; however, there are exceptions. When a unanimous decision is not reached and the jury feels that one is not possible, they declare themselves a 'hung jury', a mistrial is declared and the trial will have to be redone at the discretion of the plaintiff.
