💨 Abstract
In 2025, Louisiana Republican state senators rejected a bill allowing prisoners previously convicted by non-unanimous juries—an unconstitutional practice rooted in racist "Jim Crow" laws—to seek new trials. Estimated to affect 1,000 inmates, the bill failed due to concerns about court burdens and the complexity of old cases. Proponents argued for justice, citing wrongful convictions and the innocence of some prisoners.
