Court Properly Accepted Partial Verdict and Sent the Jury Back to Continue Deliberations on the Remaining Count

The Third Department determined the trial court properly accepted a partial verdict and sent the jury back to deliberate on the remaining count:

After the jury indicated that it had reached a verdict, the court started taking the verdict but, when the jury was polled on the larceny charge, one juror stated that she had made a mistake with her verdict. As a result, and over defendant’s objection, Supreme Court took the verdict on the two counts of criminal contempt and sent the jury back to further deliberate on the larceny charge. In our view, Supreme Court properly followed the procedure outlined inCPL 310.70 (1) (b), and there is no basis in the record to conclude that the court abused its broad discretion in accepting the partial verdict and then directing the jury to continue deliberations… . People v Phoenix, 2014 NY Slip Op 105148, 2nd Dept 3-13-14
