Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Is a criminal defendant denied his constitutional right to due process of law and trial by jury when he is convicted of two crimes, where a guilty verdict on one count logically excludes a finding of guilt on the other, regardless of whether the statutory elements of those crimes are per se mutually exclusive?

II. What remedy should a reviewing court apply if it determines that a criminal defendant's constitutional right to due process of law and trial by jury were violated because the jury returned guilty verdicts that are logically inconsistent?

Question Presented (AI Summary)
