The Breakdown: A conversation on non-unanimous juries and the November 13th election

In this episode, our host Bruce Reilly sits down with Hardell Ward an attorney with the Promise of Justice Initiative and community advocate, to discuss their work on post-conviction relief applications and more recently a decision out of the 4th circuit court of appeals not just finding non-unanimous jury verdicts to be unconstitutional but that it should also apply retroactively, which will hopefully bring some relief to 1500 some individuals across Louisiana who are still incarcerated due to a non-unanimous jury.

After Bruce sits down with Norris Henderson, our executive director, and Devin Davis, our political coordinator, to discuss the results of the November 13th election in Louisiana along with the success of our endorsed candidates and where the race for sheriff and others stand going into the runoff in Orleans Parish.
