In a criminal trial, a conviction typically requires a unanimous vote from the jury in most jurisdictions. This means that all jurors must agree on the verdict of guilty for a conviction to be achieved. However, some jurisdictions may allow for non-unanimous verdicts in certain cases, particularly in misdemeanor trials. In civil cases, a majority vote is usually sufficient for a decision.
