                              CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
                                  CHAPTER 21
                                    TRIAL
    19-2128.  DISCHARGE OF JUROR FOR ILLNESS OR DISABILITY -- SUBSTITUTE
JUROR. If, before the conclusion of the trial, a juror becomes sick, so as to
be unable to perform his duty, the court may order him to be discharged. In
that case a new juror may be sworn and the trial begin anew, or the jury may
be discharged and a new jury then or afterwards impaneled; provided, however,
that where substitute jurors have been impaneled in the manner provided by
law, such substitute juror or jurors shall be used as provided by the law
authorizing the impaneling of substitute jurors.
