Jim Crow's Last Stand: Nonunanimous Criminal Jury Verdicts in Louisiana
Thomas Aiello
Louisiana's non-unanimous jury-verdict law permitted juries to convict criminal defendants with only nine, and later ten, out of twelve votes. This updated edition of Jim Crow's Last Stand unpacks the origins of the statute, traces its survival through the civil rights era, and ends with the successful effort to overturn the practice.
