Retention of Alternate Jurors Sample Clauses

Retention of Alternate Jurors. When the jury retires to consider the verdict, the court in its discretion may retain the alternate ju- rors during deliberations. If the court decides to retain the alternate jurors, it shall ensure that they do not discuss the case with any other person unless and until they replace a Rule 25 TITLE 18, APPENDIX—RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE regular juror during deliberations. If an alter- nate replaces a juror after deliberations have begun, the court shall instruct the jury to begin its deliberations anew. (As amended Feb. 28, 1966, eff. July 1, 1966; Mar. 9, 1987, eff. Aug. 1, 1987; Apr. 26, 1999, eff. Dec. 1, 1999.) NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES—1944 Note to Subdivision (a). This rule is similar to Rule 47(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure [28 U.S.C., Appendix] and also embodies the practice now followed by many Federal courts in criminal cases. Uniform pro- cedure in civil and criminal cases on this point seems desirable. Note to Subdivision (b). This rule embodies existing law, 28 U.S.C. 424 [now 1870] (Challenges), with the fol- lowing modifications.

Experience with cases involving numerous de- fendants indicates the desirability of this modification. Note to Subdivision (c). This rule embodies existing law, 28 U.S.C. [former] 417a (Alternate jurors), as well as the practice prescribed for civil cases by Rule 47(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure [28 U.S.C., Ap- pendix], except that the number of possible alternate jurors that may be impaneled is increased from two to four, with a corresponding adjustment of challenges. NOTES OF ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON RULES—1966 AMENDMENT Experience has demonstrated that four alternate ju- rors may not be enough for some lengthy criminal trials. See e.g., United States x. Xxxxxxxx, 288 F.2d 442 (2d Cir. 1961); Reports of the Proceedings of the Judicial Conference of the United States, 1961, p. 104. The amendment to the first sentence increases the number authorized from four to six. The fourth sentence is amended to provide an addit...
