Miss. Code Ann. § 33-13-333: Miss. Code Ann. § 33-13-333
Where this section sits in the code
- MS Code
- Title 33
(1) No person may be convicted of an offense, except by the concurrence of two-thirds ( 2 / 3 ) of the members present at the time the vote is taken.
(2) All sentences shall be determined by the concurrence of two-thirds ( 2 / 3 ) of the members present at the time the vote is taken.
(3) All other questions to be decided by the members of a general or special court-martial shall be determined by a majority vote. A tie vote on a challenge disqualifies the member challenged, but a determination to reconsider a sentence with a view toward decreasing it, may be made by any lesser vote which indicates that the reconsideration is not opposed by the number of votes required for that finding or sentence. A tie vote on a motion for a finding of not guilty or on a motion relating to the question of the accused's sanity is a determination against the accused. A tie vote on any other question is a determination in favor of the accused.
