repugnant verdict

Read a random definition: unity

A quick definition of repugnant verdict:

A verdict is a decision made by a jury or judge in a court case. It determines whether someone is guilty or innocent of a crime or liable or not liable in a civil case. There are different types of verdicts, such as a guilty verdict, directed verdict, and special verdict. A repugnant verdict is a verdict that contradicts itself, such as convicting and acquitting someone of the same crime. This type of verdict is not allowed and can result in a new trial.

A more thorough explanation:

A repugnant verdict is a type of verdict that contradicts itself. This happens when a defendant is convicted and acquitted of different crimes that have identical elements. For example, if a defendant is found guilty of both murder and manslaughter, which have the same elements, it would be a repugnant verdict.

This type of verdict is illegal and cannot be used in court. It is also known as a contradictory verdict.

For example, in a case where a defendant is charged with both assault and battery, if the jury finds the defendant guilty of assault but not guilty of battery, it would be a repugnant verdict. This is because assault and battery have the same elements, and the verdict contradicts itself.

@Eminatorcookieeater: same and my sub status was blank yesterday - trying to research what it means
@shaquilleoatmeal: ooo I wonder what that means, hopefully it means we'll hear back soon

It looks like an update to the sub status (it saying complete instead of being blank) means some sort of review has happened - basically a UR2. Seems like those who got a substatus change got a decision a few days after...
