View Comments When jurors reach a verdict in Ian Howard s attempted murder trial - whether they find him guilty or not guilty - they ll have to reach a unanimous decision, a judge ruled.  Defense attorneys for Howard argued jurors could come to a 10-2 decision when finding Howard not guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that Louisiana s split jury guilty convictions were unconstitutional.  Howard s attorneys, Richard Bourke and Elliot Brown with the Louisiana Capital Assistance Center, argued in April that decision didn t apply to not guilty verdicts. Fifteenth Judicial District Court Judge Valerie Gotch Garrett ruled that the jury must come to a unanimous decision.
