2012We further note that in this case, “trial court took no precautions to preserve unanimity; the only instruction in this regard was ‘the verdict must be unanimous.’ As a result, there was a strong possibility of a composite jury verdict in violation of [appellant’s] federal and state constitutional rights to a unanimous jury verdict.” Forbes, 918 S.W.2d at 447 .
