Wednesday round-up


In its final oral argument of the week, the Supreme Court will hearEdwards v. Vannoy on Wednesday, which involves non-unanimous jury verdicts. Earlier this year, the court decided inRamos v. Louisianathat the Sixth Amendment guarantees a right to jury unanimity. Now, inEdwards, the justices must decide if that right applies retroactively to defendants who were convicted with non-unanimous juries beforeRamos was decided. Our case preview is here.
