(The Center Square) â A Louisiana House committee turned back an attempt Thursday to grant new trials to prisoners convicted by nonunanimous juries.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled such convictions unconstitutional. In a separate ruling, the court said states were not required to offer new trials to prisoners convicted under the old standard, though states are free to come up with their own remedies.
Louisiana and Oregon were the last states to allow criminal convictions by juries that were not all in agreement. Louisiana first endorsed nonunanimous verdicts at a state constitutional convention in 1898. One committee chairman said the conventionâs purpose was to âestablish the supremacy of the white race.â
