  • Why does the judge look at the verdict first?

    Why does the judge insist on looking at the jury's verdict before they read it?

    Do they ever just contain doodles, jokes, or riddles?

    The judge wants to make sure the jury form is properly filled out according
    to his instructions to minimize any issues that might come up on appeal.
