Criminal Procedure > Verdict > Mutually Exclusive Verdicts

The trial court did not err by accepting a verdict of guilty of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury when the jury had acquitted the defendant of attempted first-degree murder. The verdicts were not mutually exclusive under State v. Mumford, 364 N.C. 394 (Oct. 8, 2010).
