“Brown [ v. Ohio ] and the line of cases it relies upon ... reach a result which in Alaska is required by statute. AS 12.20.040. [But as] the supreme court noted in Mead v. State , 489 P.2d 738 , 741 (Alaska 1971), this statute only applies to successive separate prosecutions, not multiple convictions in the same continuing prosecution. Accord Ohio v. Johnson , 467 U.S. [493, 501-02], 104 S.Ct. [2536,] 2542, 81 L.Ed.2d [425,] 435 [ (1984) ]. See also Richardson v. United States , 468 U.S. 317 , 104 S.Ct. 3081 , 82 L.Ed.2d 242 (1984), where the Supreme Court ... reaffirmed that jeopardy does not terminate when the jury is discharged because it is unable to agree. The government, like the defendant, is entitled to resolution of the case by a verdict from the jury.”
