Généré par l'IA

The appellate court considered whether an instruction on the necessity of a unanimous verdict for a non-guilty finding in a criminal case was required when the jury was deadlocked on some counts but reached a unanimous verdict of guilty on others. The court reasoned that because the jury reached unanimous guilty verdicts on certain counts, the trial judge was not obligated to give a specific unanimity instruction regarding the counts on which the jury reported being deadlocked, as this would have improperly suggested to the jury that they could return a non-unanimous verdict on those charges.
