How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “This theory is based upon the assumption that the jury, convinced of defendant’s guilt, properly reached a verdict on the compound offense, and then, through mistake, compromise or lenity, acquitted on the lesser offense.”
• “Even if a defendant is convicted of a compound offense predicated upon a lesser offense, of which the defendant is acquitted, the verdict will stand so long as there was sufficient evidence in the record to support a conviction of the lesser offense.”
