People v. Kellogg

Following a jury trial in the circuit court of Cook County, the defendant, Mitchell Kellogg, was convicted of armed robbery and sentenced to a period of 4 to 8 years in the penitentiary. The sole question on review is whether the response of a juror, during the polling of the jury, cast doubt on the unanimity of the verdict. The appellate court reversed the trial court and found that the court’s questioning of one juror deprived her of an opportunity to dissent. (68 Ill. App. 3d 456.) This court granted leave to appeal. 65 Ill. 2d R. 315.

A guilty verdict signed by all the jurors was returned…
