Justices to consider retroactivity of the Ramos decision

Posted by Julie Tizzard on 27 March, 2023

 

The justices granted a petition filed by Thedrick Edwards, who was sentenced to life in prison for several robberies and a rape that occurred over a three-day period in 2006. At his trial, Edwards told the justices, the state used its challenges to exclude all but one African American from the jury; at least one person voted to acquit Edwards, who is black, on each count. Edwards argues that he would not have been convicted if he had been prosecuted in one of 48 other states or by the federal government, rather than in Louisiana. The justices will now determine whether Edwards, whose conviction became final in 2010, and others like him can take advantage of the ruling in Ramos. #criminaldefenseneworleans
