Description

We granted review to decide whether the so-called rule of consistency-that the acquittal of all alleged coconspirators but one requires acquittal of the remaining alleged conspirator-requires the reversal of a conspiracy conviction in this case, and whether similar principles require the reversal of a finding as to one but not both co-defendants that an attempted murder was premeditated. We conclude that the rule of consistency is a vestige of the past with no continuing validity. Many reasons may explain apparently inconsistent verdicts: lenience, compromise, differing evidence as to different defendants, or, possibly, that two juries simply viewed similar evidence differently. If substantial evidence supports a jury verdict as to one defendant, that verdict may stand despite an apparently inconsistent verdict as to another defendant.
