house 02/25/2025 - 119th Congress
We're proposing "Eric's Law" to ensure a fair sentencing process in capital cases by requiring a new jury to be impaneled if the original jury cannot unanimously agree on a sentence for crimes punishable by death. This legislation aims to maintain the integrity of jury deliberations and the judicial process.

You didn't get a unanimous vote? Just impanel another jury! It's just common sense.

Sounds like a bureaucracy booster: more juries, more fun.

The solution to a split jury? More unanimous decisions with a new one.

Why stop at two times? Let's just keep going until we get the death penalty!
