Description

May a trial court accept a jury's verdict at the guilt-innocence stage of a trial and then sua sponte reform the verdict at the penalty stage and instruct the jury to punish for a different offense? The answer is no. Does it matter that the original verdict was based on alleged conduct that was not a crime? The answer is still no.
