Without getting into the specific language, I think it's important to give jurors the opportunity to talk about all of the aspects of the trial.
There's one point that I don't think has been brought up so far in this process, not just today but at all. In the Derek Saretzky trial, as in many trials these days, more than 12 jurors were empanelled, but the trial concluded with 14 of them. The code requires that two of those jurors be randomly excluded from the process before the deliberations start, and one of the jurors was quite vocal in the courtroom and outside in saying that this was a travesty, that “you make me sit through all of this testimony and then you kick me out of the room before I have a chance to participate with my colleagues in the deliberation process.”
One of the recommendations that I made in a letter to the minister a couple of months ago was that there's nothing magical about the number twelve. To exclude those two witnesses and to say that makes it easier to come to your unanimous verdict suggests that you somehow randomly picked the two dissenters, who would have been obstructing a unanimous verdict anyway. Why not allow all of the people to participate in the process? The language we use about allowing people to discuss the deliberations is a recognition of the challenges that are inherent to deliberations, but we also have the challenge of those people who get kicked off a jury before they're even allowed to conclude the process.
