While this section duplicates the substance
of Rule 543 (a) (2), applicable to civil cases,
there is no similar provision in the Rules
for criminal cases; therefore the section was
retained. If the Rules are amended, this
section should be repealed.

The only other changes made are in style.

SEC. 8-304. KEEPING TOGETHER OR PERMITTING SEPARATION
OF JURORS IN CRIMINAL CASES.

THE JURORS SWORN TO TRY A CRIMINAL ACTION MAY, AT
ANY TIME BEFORE THE SUBMISSION OF THE CASE TO THE
JURY, IN THE DISCRETION OF THE COURT, BE PERMITTED TO
SEPARATE OR MAY BE KEPT IN CHARGE OF PROPER OFFICERS.
