OU TARYAG MITZVOS MITZVA 78. Majority Rules: The obligation to follow the majority opinion

(L"N SHLOMO BEN MOREDECHI AND R"S FOR Azriel Mordechai ben Rochel Devorah)
As discussed, capital crimes require a supermajority to convict but other cases are decided based on a simple majority. (This would necessarily be the case in civil suits where the beis din is composed of three judges, as the only options there are a simple majority of 2-1 or a unanimous decision of 3-0.)
