retired to consider such question and, after having deliberated, the jury was brought back into
open court by the proper officer, the Defendant, the Defendant's attorney, and the State's
attorney being present, and being asked if the jury had agreed upon a verdict, the jury answered
it had and returned to the Court a verdict, which was read aloud, received by the Court, and is
