Jury Verdict

(a) Return. The jury must return its verdict to a judge in open court. The verdict must be unanimous. (b) Partial Verdicts, Mistrial, and Retrial. (1) Multiple Defendants. If there are multiple defendants, the jury may return a verdict at any time during its deliberations for any defendant about whom it has agreed. (2) Multiple Counts. If the jury cannot agree on all counts for any defendant, the jury may return a verdict on those counts on which it has agreed. (3) Mistrial and Retrial. If the jury cannot agree on a verdict on one or more counts, the court may declare a mistrial on those counts. The prosecution may retry any defendant on any count on which the jury could not agree. (c) Lesser Offense. A defendant may be found guilty of an offense necessarily included in the offense charged. (d) Jury Poll. After a verdict is returned but before the jury is discharged, the court must on a party's request, or may on its own, poll the jurors individually. If the poll reveals a lack of unanimity, the court may direct the jury to deliberate further or may declare a mistrial and discharge the jury. (e) Special verdict. (1) Lack of Criminal Responsibility. If a defendant raises the defense of lack of criminal responsibility by mental disease or defect at the time of the alleged crime and evidence of the defense is presented at trial, the jury, if it finds the defendant not guilty based on the defense, must state that fact in its verdict. (2) Double Jeopardy. If a defendant raises the defense of having been formerly convicted or acquitted of the same offense or an offense necessarily included in the same offense, or of having been once in jeopardy, and evidence of the defense is given at trial, the jury, if it finds the defendant proved the defense, must state that fact in its verdict. (3) Treason. If a defendant is charged with treason or conspiracy to commit treason and more than one overt act is charged, the jury, before returning a verdict of guilty, must return a special verdict on each overt act charged. (4) Other Defenses. If any other defense cannot be reflected in a general verdict, and evidence of the defense is given at trial, the jury, if it so finds, shall declare that fact in its verdict.
