Judgment when jury persist in informal verdict

Official statutory text

If the jury persist in finding an informal verdict, from which,

however, 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 must give judgment of

acquittal. But no judgment of conviction can be given unless the

jury expressly find against the defendant, upon the issue, or

judgment be given against him on a special verdict.
