■ 100% Unanimity Barrier
Commonwealth of Massachusetts Criminal Procedure (Rule 27):
Under Massachusetts law, a criminal verdict of guilt or lack of criminal responsibility requires a unanimous 12-juror vote. When an 11-1 deadlock occurs, the judge typically gives the Commonwealth v. Tuey / Commonwealth v. Rodriquez charge urging jurors to re-examine differences. If the holdout remains immovable, a mistrial is declared.
