Does the clerk's minutes indicate that the result of the polling of the jurors was "10 YES 0 NO"?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Gallegos, D065337 (Cal. App. 2015):

4. The clerk's minutes indicate the result of the polling of the jurors was "10 YES 0 NO." However, the reporter's transcript confirms that all 12 jurors answered "Yes" to the question "Was this and is this your verdict?" and that the clerk "record[ed] 12 affirmative responses." Because no party raises any issue and because there is nothing to indicate the reporter's transcript may be inaccurate, "we presume the court reporter accurately reported the proceedings." (People v. Anzalone (2013) 56 Cal.4th 545, 552, fn. 6.)
