The Supreme Court non-unanimously decides that criminal convictions require unanimous juries.
- pnw_hazor 6y agoThe jury has a different role than appellate courts. The jury is a fact finder. Among other things, appellate courts look at the application of those facts to the law. Appellate courts also can review if the facts determined by the jury (or a judge in non-jury cases) are unreasonable, whether fair procedures were followed -- including jury make-up or jury process.
