Clear Verdict to be Recorded by Clerk

When the verdict given is such as the court may receive, the clerk shall record it in full upon the minutes. NOTE: Section 105.74 is new. It is substantively the same as the first portion of § 1164 of the California Penal Code, and serves the same purpose for a jury trial as former § 1149 served for a court-tried case. See generally B. Witkin, California Criminal Procedure Judgment and Attack in Trial Court §§ 532, 532A(1963, Supp. 1973). Regarding defective or inconsistent verdicts and impeachment of the verdict, see Witkin, supra §§ 544-554A; 8 Moore, Federal Practice &&31.05, 31.08 (1974).
