In what circumstances will the court order that a defendant be found guilty on one count but acquitted on two others?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Garcia, E062668 (Cal. App. 2016):
Finally, we do not find any prejudicial error. The jury convicted defendant on one count but acquitted him on two others. The jury was clearly not affected by judicial bias. It is not reasonably probable defendant would have received a more favorable result had the court ruled differently. (People v. Harris, supra, 37 Cal.4th at pp. 350-351.)
