What are the different verdicts that a jury can decide?
The jury can give two verdicts, guilty, or not guilty in a criminal trial. They are typically given a set of charges that they have to give a verdict on. Some allow them to convict on a lessor included charge. Meaning if someone is charged with first degree murder, they could convict of second degree murder. If the jury cannot decide on a verdict, it can be ruled a hung jury. At that point the trial can start all over again with a new jury.
