State v. Mekoshvili (Concurrence)

Summary

Justice Ecker concurred in the judgment because the jury instruction adequately conveyed that the state had to disprove at least one same element of self-defense to the jury's unanimous satisfaction. In his view, the instruction fairly and substantially included the substance of the defendant's requested specific unanimity instruction, so he found it unnecessary to decide whether the Constitution required such an instruction. The opinion does not state the judgment's disposition independently.
