In a personal injury case, how have the courts interpreted the Moore instruction in response to a jury's note indicating that the jury could not reach a verdict?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Gonzalez, E056554 (Cal. App. 2014):

The jury received the case on May 17, 2012. On May 22 the jury sent a note indicating they could not reach a decision. The trial judge delivered a further instruction derived from People v. Moore (2002) 96 Cal.app.4th 1105 (Moore).3 Defendant argues that the Moore instruction used in response to the jury's note coerced the verdict. Finding no impropriety in the decision to give the instruction and no defect in the instruction, we affirm.
