Whether the Petitioner is entitled to be released from prison due to the State's failure to prove guilt by a unanimous jury verdict as required by Ramos v. Louisiana
Question Presented (OCR Extract)
Question Presented In light of this court’s recent decision in Ramos v. Louisiana, 140 S.Ct. 1390 (2020), finding nonunanimous jury verdicts in serious criminal cases unconstitutional, is Petitioner entitled to be released from prison when the State Prosecutor failed to prove _he was “Guilty” of two felonies! by a unanimous jury verdict due to the State’s failure to show defendant ever used a firearm as defined by Louisiana Statute? Actually, defendant was charged with three felonies due to the third being inextricably connected to the previous two, i.e., obstruction of justice based on the 10-2 verdicts on the first two felonies charged. ee 2
