34   and each juror shall be separately asked whether the
35   verdict rendered by the jury foreperson is the juror's
36   true and correct verdict.  If, upon either the
37   collective or the separate inquiry, any juror denies
38   that the verdict is the juror's verdict, the court
39   shall refuse to accept the verdict.  The court may
40   direct inquiry or permit inquiry by counsel to
41   ascertain whether any juror has been subjected to
42   coercion or has become confused during the jury
43   deliberation process.  The court may, as appropriate,
44   direct the jury to resume deliberation in the case.
45   If no disagreement on the verdict is expressed by any
46   of the jurors, the court shall discharge the jury."
