Cal. Penal Code § 1140 — Conduct of the Jury After the Cause Is Submitted to Them is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Except as provided by law, the jury cannot be discharged after the cause is submitted to them until they have agreed upon their verdict and rendered it in open court, unless by consent of both parties, entered upon the minutes, or unless, at the expiration of such time as the court may deem proper, it satisfactorily appears that there is no reasonable probability that the jury can agree.
