“`[s]ince this is a criminal case, all twelve of you must agree on the answer to the special verdict.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Bashaw · State v. Nunez“We do not believe that the court intended to hold that special verdicts were to have unanimity requirements different from general verdicts. There is no discussion in Goldberg of the pattern instructions. There is no discussion of special verdicts in general or the policy of permitting one juror to acquit on a special verdict. In short, there is simply no indication that either the pattern instructions or the policy of unanimous special verdicts were at issue in Goldberg.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“it answered `no' to the special verdict form, where under instruction 16, unanimity is not required in order for the verdict to be final. We find no error in the jury's initial verdict in this case.”
