Original Note:
This is misleading - jurors can vote not guilty on the lesser charges There is no "not guilty" box on the verdict form. In Massachusetts, not checking the guilty box indicates by the jury that the defendant is not guilty. https://www.wcvb.com/article/verdict-form-center-of-heated-exchange-between-karen-read-s-attorney-judge/61424366 https://www.boston.com/news/crime/2024/06/26/judge-admonishes-karen-read-after-brief-argument-with-defense/
