Text

If the jurors persist in finding a verdict such as is described in section 29-22-28 from which it
can be clearly understood that their intention is to find in favor of the defendant upon the issue,
it must be entered in the terms in which it is found, and the court shall give a judgment of
acquittal. No judgment of conviction can be given, however, unless the jurors expressly find
against the defendant upon the issue, or unless judgment is given against the defendant on a
special verdict.
