Partial Verdicts, also known as split verdicts, are jury decisions that choose to render only part of the verdict. They are most commonly used in criminal trials, where a jury may not reach a unanimous decision on all counts but can decide on some. Partial Verdicts can be broken down into three distinct types: partial acquittal, partial conviction, and partial guilty plea. A partial acquittal occurs when a jury finds a defendant not guilty of some charges but guilty of others. This may result from a jury being unable to reach a unanimous verdict on all charges, but finding the defendant guilty on some. A partial conviction is a verdict in which the jury finds the defendant guilty of some charges, but not all of them. This often occurs when a jury is deadlocked on some counts. A partial guilty plea is a plea in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty to some charges, but not all of them. This type of plea is often used when the defendant is facing multiple counts and wishes to avoid a trial.
