What is the difference between a prosecutor's closing argument and the jury's verdict forms?

prosecutor's closing argument and the verdict forms, and we agree.⁶ The prosecutor emphasized defendant's use of a knife, a weapon he used during the first threat but not the second, and the jury verdict forms reflected this difference. The prosecutor also emphasized that the first threat was unconditional, an element of making a criminal threat ( 422). Although she briefly conflated the two threats, the prosecutor's argument as a whole communicated with sufficient clarity and directness the jury's duty to render a unanimous decision as to whether defendant's first threat violated section 422. (People v. Melhado, supra, 60 Cal.App.4th at p. 1539.)
