Washington State Jury Instructions
WPIC 1.04
NO. _____
Jurors have a duty to consult with one another and to deliberate with a view to reaching a unanimous verdict, if it can be done without violence to individual judgment. Each of you must decide the case for yourself but only after an impartial consideration of the evidence with your fellow jurors. In the course of deliberations, you should not hesitate to re-examine your own views and change your opinion if you are convinced it is erroneous. However, you should not surrender your honest convictions as to the weight of effect of the evidence solely because of the opinions of your fellow jurors, or for the mere purpose of returning a verdict.
