The Oregon Supreme Court just held, in Watkins v. Ackley, that Oregon criminal convictions based on non-unanimous jury verdicts can be reversed, even if those convictions were final before the U.S. Supreme Court decided Ramos v. Louisiana (requiring unanimous jury verdicts in criminal proceedings) in 2020. #lawfedi #criminallaw #appellatefedi
