Is a jury's verdict in a personal injury case inconsistent with the facts?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Clark, F057477, Super. Ct. No. BF120757A (Cal. App. 2010):
Appellant, while noting that the jury did not reach a verdict on count 1, acknowledges that, as a general rule, inconsistent verdicts are allowed to stand.4 (People v. Lewis (2001) 25 Cal.4th 610, 656.) While this is not a case of inconsistent verdicts, the analysis behind allowing inconsistent verdicts to stand is applicable.
