Description

02.520 Verdict in Writing Whatever your verdict in the case, it must be agreed to by each juror; it must be in writing, dated, and signed by your foreperson; and it must be returned and read in court. You may write your verdict on the back of plaintiff's petition. Optional alternative instruction: The court has prepared a verdict form for your use. (Then explain the form to the jury.) (Note: The manner of returning a verdict herein set out is not required by law but by usage and custom, Sullivan v. State, 29 Ga. App. 377, 379 (1922), except that it must be published in open court (O.C.G.A. §9-12-3). A verdict does not have to be in writing or signed, Knight v. Knight, 209 Ga. 131 (1952) and Sullivan v. State, 29 Ga. App. 377 (1922), cited by note "verdict.")
