“Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito and Justice Elena Kagan dissented from the decision.”

Interesting split, conservatives and liberals on both sides of the decision.

If you’re innocent get a Judge, if you’re Guilty get a Jury.

A 10 - 2 verdict is not without a reasonable doubt.

An impartial jury is almost impossible to seat these days, unless the defendant’s political leanings are totally hidden from the jury pool.

Courts are usually the only protection citizens have against the government. And since courts ARE part of the government, they don’t always do their part. It’s good to see them standing up for the citizen.

Wonder if unanimous jury decisions were required when the Constitution was written.

Unfortunately there’s far too much jury nullification as it is...and this will only make it worse.

The case is Ramos v. Lousiana, and the opinion can be read here. I hate it when the "news" can't even be bothered to mention the case name.

Of course SCOTUS does not, nor should they, wade into the deep murky waters of a citizenry that is too stupid and vain to apply the laws of logic in order to convict.

That is the real issue facing us-- brought to you by public education.

Our new conservatives proved to be not so conservative once again.
