What rules do juries have to follow when returning a verdict?

Jurors are supposed to follow the law. They're supposed to apply the evidence to the law, meaningfully deliberate amongst themselves, and return a verdict. What they're not supposed to do is jury nullification - though it happens - where you feel that this case is so outrageous that even though we believe this person did it we're not going to find them guilty. What the jurors also not supposed to do is base a verdict on prejudice or the fact that the person looks guilty. They're supposed to follow the law. They're not supposed to do any independent investigation, they're not supposed to talk to anybody and they're not supposed to be biased. It's a very high duty that's charged to jurors and most jurors take their duties very seriously.
