OR

You have now completed your duties as jurors in this case and are discharged. The question may arise whether you are free to discuss this case with anyone. This is entirely your decision. If any person tries to discuss the case over your objection, or becomes critical of your service, please report it to me immediately.

Notes on Use

Unless the trial judge orders otherwise, an initial delinquency hearing is conducted in private. 10 O.S. Supp. 1996, § 7303-4.2. Second or subsequent delinquency proceedings are public, however. Accordingly, if an initial delinquency was conducted in private, the first alternative should be used; otherwise, the second alternative should be used.
