1Opinion of the Court

MAY, MELANIE G., Associate Judge.

A jury’s ability to correct a clerical error is questioned in this case. The defendant appeals his conviction of attempted carjacking with a firearm, and suggests that the trial court erred when it resubmitted the case to the jury for continued deliberations. We disagree and affirm.

The State charged the defendant with attempted carjacking with a firearm. The verdict form read in pertinent part as follows:

WE, THE JURY, find as follows as to the Defendant in this case: (Check only one)

_ A. The Defendant is Guilty of Attempted Carjacking, and in the course thereof

Also in this document: Concurrence.
