How should a verdict involving a jury be documented if not applicable?

When documenting a verdict involving a jury that is not applicable, the most suitable approach is to omit any mentions of the jury entirely. This method ensures that the record remains clear and focused on the relevant aspects of the case. Not including jury references helps avoid any confusion or misinterpretation about the trial's processes or outcomes since the jury's role was not part of the proceedings.

Options that involve referring to another case or stating "jury not involved" may introduce unnecessary information or distractions that could detract from the clarity needed in the documentation. Additionally, only documenting other proceedings might again leave the jury's impact or involvement unclear, which is not beneficial for a comprehensive record. Thus, omitting jury mentions altogether keeps the documentation precise and free from irrelevant details.
