Supreme Court will decide whether criminal cases must have 12 jurors, in Florida case
The Supreme Court will decide if states can use six-person juries in criminal cases instead of 12, with Florida chiropractor Hamed Kian arguing it violates the Sixth Amendment. Florida and five other states use six-person juries for non-death penalty cases, and the Court previously allowed this in 1970.
