/pəʊl əv ðə ˈʤʊəri/ – Phrase
Definition: cuộc biểu quyết của đoàn bồi thẩm.
A more thorough explanation: A “poll of the jury” refers to the process in a trial where each individual juror is asked to publicly state their verdict or opinion on a particular issue. This process is typically used when the jury is unable to reach a unanimous decision and the judge needs to determine the individual positions of each juror.
Example: In a criminal trial, the judge instructed the jury to deliberate and reach a verdict based on the evidence presented during the trial. The poll of the jury revealed that all twelve members had agreed on a guilty verdict.
