1. A presentment or indictment may be
found only upon the concurrence of 12 or more jurors.
2. The jurors shall vote separately on
each person and each count included in a presentment or indictment.
3. The presentment or indictment must be
returned by the grand jury to a judge in open court or, in the absence of the
judge, to the clerk of the court in open court, who shall determine that 12 or
more jurors concurred in finding a presentment or indictment. If the defendant
has been held to answer and 12 jurors do not concur in finding a presentment or
indictment, the foreman shall so report to the court in writing forthwith.
4. The failure to indict does not prevent
the same charge from being again submitted to a grand jury if resubmission is
approved by the court.
