"Can the jury come back with a Not Guilty on M2...period?"

Nope! And here is something else to think about. Obviously this Jury has found him not guilty of 2nd degree murder but if it is a hung jury he can be retried on both these charges again. I just heard a lawyer say they can't separate the two.

Of course they separate the 2 charges. Jury says Not Guilty of Murder-2. But we cannot reach a verdict on count 2 = Hung

If it is a hung jury - MOM will be filing a motion for judgment of acquittal

It could be granted
