SUMMARY

In a landmark decision, the Louisiana Senate Committee has voted 5-1 to advance Senate Bill 218, potentially opening the door for hundreds of individuals convicted by non-unanimous juries to seek justice. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Royce Duplessis, specifically targets convictions made under Louisiana's controversial Jim Crow-era 10-2 jury verdict law. This legislation could directly impact cases like Corey Miller's, where a split jury (10-2) secured his conviction despite the absence of physical evidence. If passed, SB218 would take effect August 1, 2025, creating a clear pathway for post-conviction relief for those convicted by non-unanimous juries. The bill's strong committee support signals a potential shift in Louisiana's approach to addressing historical injustices in its criminal justice system, particularly those rooted in Jim Crow-era laws. The legislation now moves to the full Senate floor for consideration, marking a crucial step toward potential reform.
