653 (1) Lorsque le juge est convaincu que le jury ne peut s’entendre sur son verdict, et qu’il serait inutile de le retenir plus longtemps, il peut, à sa discrétion, le dissoudre et ordonner la constitution d’un nouveau jury pendant la session du tribunal, ou différer le procès aux conditions que la justice peut exiger.
