This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
Indiana courts no longer use special verdicts or written questions (interrogatories) for juries. This means a jury just gives one overall verdict, like "guilty" or "not guilty," or a decision for one side or the other in a civil case. The jury does not have to answer a list of specific factual questions or break down its decision piece by piece.
In the past, judges sometimes asked juries to answer detailed questions about the facts in addition to, or instead of, a general verdict. This rule ends that practice. Now juries simply reach and report a single, final verdict without giving a detailed explanation of how they got there.
