🔍 What This Means for You — Non-Unanimous Jury Rulings in Louisiana
For years, people in Louisiana were sent to prison—even for life—by non-unanimous jury verdicts. That changed with Ramos v. Louisiana, but SCOTUS later ruled in Edwards v. Vannoy that the change doesn’t apply retroactively to older cases.
So where does that leave people with decades-old split-jury convictions?
⚖️ The Louisiana Supreme Court recently ruled that state courts can consider whether post-conviction relief is available—even for older, already-final convictions.
That means there may still be a path forward—but it’s narrow, and the law is complex.
