I am a reasonably educated person, and I think I have misunderstood jury unanimity rules. Does a jury need to be unanimous to acquit, as well as to convict? I thought it was just to convict.

Can someone explain it like I'm a middle aged, highly educated, apparently (possibly) mistaken layman? Feel free to engage the eye roll, and condescending voice, as I feel like there's not much excuse for me to be in this confused state at this stage in my life.

Much appreciated.

EDIT: Asked and answered! Thanks for the clarification. I'm turning off replies now due to a few folks with disputatious tendencies.
