Is there any evidence of coercion in the context of a motion of no confidence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Cowan, No. 059675A, S055415 (Cal. 2010):
cogent evidence of coercion, would ' "deprive the jury room of its inherent quality of free expression." ' [Citations.]... Moreover, any such inquiry could in itself have risked pressuring the dissenting juror to conform her vote to that of the majority." (People v. Johnson, supra, 3 Cal.4th at p. 1255.) Accordingly, the trial court did not err in declining to inquire about possible coercion.
