Non-Unanimous Jury Verdicts are Unconstitutional!
As a follow-up to our blog post from April 13, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling in Ramos v. Louisiana today holding that non-unanimous jury verdicts are unconstitutional. They also held that this ruling applies to those whose cases are currently pending trial or are on direct appeal.
We are ecstatic that the Supreme Court has made this ruling requiring that in all serious cases, jury verdicts must be unanimous!
