§62-3-7. Filling vacancy in jury; discharge of jury.
If a juror, after he is sworn, be unable, from any cause, to
perform his duty, the court may, in its discretion, cause another
qualified juror to be sworn in his place. And in any criminal case
the court may discharge the jury, when it appears that they cannot
agree in a verdict, or that there is manifest necessity for such
discharge.
