     631.17 Requiring court administrator to read verdict to 
  jury. 

    When a verdict such as the court may receive is returned, 
 the court administrator shall immediately file it in open court 
 and read it to the jury, and ask the jurors if it is their 
 verdict.  If a juror disagrees, that fact shall be entered upon 
 the minutes, and the court shall send the jury out to deliberate 
 further.  If no disagreement is expressed by the jury, the 
 verdict is complete, and the court shall discharge the jury from 
 the case.  The court administrator shall immediately record the 
 verdict in full in the court minutes.
