Convicting an accused person of a serious offense with a less-than-unanimous jury verdict, as two states had allowed, runs afoul of the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of a right to a jury trial, the Supreme Court has determined.

In 48 states and federal court, a single juror’s vote to acquit is enough to prevent a conviction, according to … Continue reading Citing racist origins, Supreme Court strikes down nonunanimous jury rules in Louisiana and Oregon
