چکیده انگلیسی
Relaxing the unanimity requirement for verdicts in a given criminal trial leads to fewer hung juries and more verdicts of all four types: correct and wrongful convictions, and correct and wrongful acquittals. A criminal proceeding, however, does not necessarily end when a jury hangs. We demonstrate that if retrials occur until a verdict is reached, a unanimous verdict rule is generally more accurate than a nonunanimous rule with respect to the probabilities of all four types of verdicts. Thus, a tradeoff between hung jury costs and verdict accuracy exists when considering unanimous versus nonunanimous verdict rules.
