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. | Typically, a [[jury]] must come to a unanimous decision before delivering a '''verdict'''; however, there are exceptions.
