Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Juries can return guilty, not guilty, or special verdicts. Special verdicts, generally, are related to insanity or capital punishment.

The requirement for a unanimous verdict instills confidence in the criminal justice process, guarantees careful review of evidence, ensures the hearing of minority viewpoints, and more. SCOTUS has held that non-unanimous guilty verdicts are constitutional.
