How are jury decisions in Louisiana different from those in most other US states?

History

grin007 [14]3 years ago

In Louisiana Jury decision need not be unanimous.

Explanation:

Each and every Juror need not be convinced for the defendant' guilt. If the judges claim to be of similar opinion then the guilt proves to be reasonable but its not the majority of the judges opinion. Judges love this process as it expedites the deliberations and most of the cases are solved faster.

Unanimity is required in all criminal cases which are of third degree severity. In a state where the racial disparity is to the maximum and unanimity of jury persists then, there are many chances for the defendant to be convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based upon a 10-2 vote of the jury decisions.

What impact did the arrival the arrival of chinese troops have on the korean war?
kari74 [83]

The Chinese decided to enter the Korean War on November 25-26, 1950. This was an enormous shock to the American forces, as well as to the United Nations. The United States, and in particular U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, believed that the Chinese would not openly enter the war. When China did provide support to North Korea, the effect was catastrophic on the American forces, leading to a great expansion of the conflict.
