re: Supreme Court decision could lead La. to retry 1,000’s of old criminal cases

If the U.S. Supreme Court reverses a prior decision and bans non-unanimous jury convictions, Louisiana prosecutors say they may have to retry thousands of cases or let some inmates out of prison.

The supreme court should not do this.

Louisiana already banned 10-2 convictions in a ballot referendum last year and the Supreme Court should respect the governmental interest in maintaining public order by not drowning our legal system in more cases being retried and letting dangerous inmates out of prison.
