This is EXACTLY why I will vote no for this.


The current system requires no need for any deliberation in these cases. Why should she present an argument when her vote doesn't matter? Why would anyone try to convince her otherwise when the vote is already 11-1 and the suspect is going to prison?

A unanimous jury requirement changes all of that. It's easy to be stubborn when it doesn't matter.

I'm voting yes because I want the power to the people no matter how stupid.


Sorry to hear that. Sounds rough but allowing the Gubment to override a jury is scary business.

Yes and I am as conservative as any of you cucks every could dream. Maybe pray the people become smarter. Government isn't perfect either dumb arse

Why do you think hung juries haven't been an issue in federal courts in Louisiana? They have the same jury pool as district courts and require a twelve person unanimous verdict.

And yet, the vast majority of this country does so just fine.

Agreed. 10/12 or 11/12 should be national standard.

Why isn't it then, even in deep red states, if having unanimous juries is apparently so much more expensive and causes loads of criminals to go free?

10/12 is not justice... 12/12 will require stronger cases to be made and brought before jurors.

If we keep 10/12 however, we need to change things so that a full sentence can only be served on a 12-0 conviction. 10-2 would lead to a 25% sentence and 11-1 a half sentence owing to the incomplete verdicts

WTF does OJ have to do with any of this?

Kinda the biggest example of jury nullification in recent memory, doncha think? The fact that, despite the evidence, people still voted to let him go?

So if you have 1 or 2 of those mindsets on La jury, they shouldn't get a pass, like OJ did? Or spend more money on a new trial. Lawyers love that hung jury shite. MO MONEY

Voted no/against. It's crazy how many millennials are on the street corners in Lafayette holding signs to vote yes for this bullshite. I passed one up and gave her the thumbs down sign and booed...she shrugged her shoulders and smiled. Bunch of sheep.

Like I said, it is EASIER for OJ to get off in LA than it was in CA. All it takes is 10/12 not guilty votes and double jeopardy sets in.

A mistrial =/= not guilty.

I voted no. For specific reasons like this. I'd rather 10-2, than mistrial 11-1 because someone wants to be an idiot SJW.

Why tf would he be accused? All this does is make it easier for criminals to escape justice. He doesn’t seem like a criminal
