Okla. Stat. tit. 22, § 22-898: Court during jury's retirement - Sealed verdicts - Final

adjournment for term discharges jury.

While the jury are absent the court may adjourn from time to

time as to other business, but it is nevertheless deemed open for

any purpose connected with the cause submitted to them until verdict

is rendered or the jury discharged. If the jury agree on a verdict

during a temporary adjournment or recess of the court, they may,

upon the direction of the court, sign the verdict by their foreman,

securely seal the same in an envelope, and deliver the same to the

foreman, when they may separate until the next convening of the

court, at which time they shall reassemble in the jury room and

return their verdict in open court, when the same proceedings shall

be had as in case of other verdicts. A final adjournment of the

court for the term discharges the jury.
