Does a jury have to unanimously agree on which pieces of surgical equipment were stolen from a hospital?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Rivas, B284503 (Cal. App. 2018):
Defendants argue that the trial court erred in not, on its own, instructing the jury that it had to unanimously agree on which pieces of surgical equipment defendants stole from the hospital. This is an instructional issue we review de novo. (People v. Covarrubias (2016) 1 Cal.5th 838, 919.)
