hung jury
A hung jury or deadlocked jury is a jury that cannot, by the required voting threshold, agree upon a verdict after extended deliberation and is unable to change its votes. Hung jury may also be referred to as a non unanimous verdict. 〔West's Business Law, Alternate Edition (Hardcover)〕
== Canada==
In Canada, the jury must reach a unanimous decision on criminal cases. Each jury in criminal courts contain twelve jurors, but not in civil cases. In civil cases, only six people are necessary for a jury, and if there is one dissenter but the rest are unanimous (i.e. a 5-1 vote) the one dissenter can be ignored with the majority opinion becoming the final verdict.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Canada's System of Justice: The Role of the Public )〕 If the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision, a hung jury is declared. A new panel of jurors will be selected for the new trial.
