I don't expect this to be well-received, but Cardell Hayes appealed his manslaughter conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court, and yesterday the Louisiana Attorney General's office conceded that he is entitled to a new trial because he was convicted by a split 10-2 jury and the Supreme Court has since held that non-unanimous jury convictions are unconstitutional. Once the Supreme Court formally vacates the conviction we will be re-living this saga once again.
