  • holding there was no manifest necessity to declare mistrial because the trial court failed to inquire whether jurors had reached a partial verdict
  • discussing jurisdictions permitting a court to take a partial verdict of acquittal on a greater offense when the jury is deadlocked on the lesser offenses
  • partial verdicts appropriate because of “hard transition” approach to deliberations, recognizing that partial verdicts are problematic in jurisdictions that have adopted “soft transition” approach
  • “[t]his approach makes Connecticut what is termed a ‘hard transition’ acquittal first jurisdiction”
