Can a defendant appeal against a finding that a jury improperly coerced the jury into reaching a verdict?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Brown, 182 Cal.App.4th 1354 (Cal. App. 2010):

Defendant appealed, contending the trial court improperly coerced the jury into reaching a verdict, the prosecutor engaged in misconduct during closing argument, the trial court abused its discretion in imposing a midterm sentence and punishing defendant for having gone to trial, and the abstract of judgment must be corrected to delineate the specific fines and fees imposed. In an opinion filed on January 13, 2010, we agreed with defendant on the latter point but otherwise affirmed the judgment. (People v. Brown (Jan. 13, 2010, C056510) [nonpub. opn.].)
