The following is part of a news item. "Over a five minute meeting, he reminded the jury they must be unanimous on all counts and asked the group to return to the jury room and discuss the charges further."
My guess is that the news report was inartfully drafted. It would be reversible error for the judge to suggest that the jury must return the same verdict for every count against the defendant. The instruction more likely was that in order to find him guilty or not guilty of each separate count, you must be unanimous in your verdict for that count.
