  • holding collateral estoppel does not apply to the proceduraily unique situation in which several criminal charges against the same defendant have been allocated between two triers for concurrent adjudication in a single proceeding
  • fact that jury rendered not guilty verdict on some charges first did not preclude court from rendering guilty verdict on other charge immediately thereafter, as trial proceedings were simultaneous
