1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hood

T1 When a jury is deadlocked, the court may provide a "modified-Allern" instruction informing the jury that it should attempt to reach a unanimous verdiet; that each juror should decide the case for himself or herself; that the jurors should not hesitate to reconsider their views; and that they should not surrender their honest convictions solely because of others' opinions or to return a verdict. The purpose of this instruction is to encourage jurors to reach a verdict without coercing them into doing so. See Allen v. People, 660 P.2d 896, 898 (Colo.1983).
