Wednesday round-up

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