just making sure I understand this correctly
if one is found not guilty on each of three counts by the jury, then the judge can add up all of the guilty votes from the three separate charges to claim guilt overall???
wow
Ever play a game with someone who changed the rules as the game was played?
not guilty for spitting on the sidewalk: jury 8 to 4
not guilty for jaywalking: jury 9 to 3
not guilty for loud stereo: jury 10 to 2
judge: 4+3+2=9 "guilty of guilt"
