A jury verdict shall be unanimous. It shall be returned by the jury to the judge or magistrate in open court. When the jurors appear, they must be asked by the court or the clerk whether they have agreed upon their verdict. If the foreman answers in the affirmative, they must, on being required, declare the same.
