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

History
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Historians tend to see Reconstruction as a mix of successes and failures. Based on what you have learned about the goals and str
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

According to Digital History, historians have viewed Reconstruction as a success. They attribute this to the changing race relations that occurred centuries after in economic, social and political spheres.

Reconstruction was a turbulent time as the aftermath of the Civil War left unanswered the fate of former slaves. Congress responded by passing Constitutional amendments and laws aimed to help freedmen. Although, the South saw rise to the Ku Klux Klan which preached white supremacy and eventually political help from the North diminished. In that time, citizens considered Reconstruction to be characterized by corruption and used this to justify Jim Crow policies of the 1960s.
