Does a defendant have to rely too much on his acquittal of one or more counts?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Hussain, 179 Cal.Rptr.3d 679, 231 Cal.App.4th 261 (Cal. App. 2014):
Defendant relies too heavily on his acquittal. Inconsistent verdicts alone do not establish insufficient evidence. An acquittal of one or more counts shall not be deemed an acquittal of any other count. ( 954; see People v. Pahl (1991) 226 Cal.App.3d 1651, 16561657, 277 Cal.Rptr. 656.)
