With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". 1, 7, 98 S.Ct. 2141, 57 L.Ed.2d 1 (1978) (emphasis added) (quoting Sapir v. United States, 348 U.S. 373, 374-75, 75 S.Ct. 422, 99 L.Ed. 426 (1955)). Here, the verdict was not “duly rendered,” because an 11-person jury cannot make any decision in a capital case under state law, absent the defendant’s agreement. Appellant’s waiver was not knowing and voluntary because he was not advised of his right to obtain a mistrial. Allowing jury deliberations to proceed with 11 people is a structural defect, not a trial error. See State v. Goodley, 423 So.2d 648 (La.1982) (determining double jeopardy principles would not prevent defendant from being retried where acquittal resulted from an illegal verdict based on non-unanimous vote, but holding defendant 5, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969) (<HOLDING>), Ex parte Gillentine, 980 So.2d 966 (Ala.2007)
