Indiana House votes to cut civil juries to six members
Indiana representatives approved House Bill 1003 by 57 to 35 on third reading, proposing to reduce civil court juries from 12 to six. Critics warn it endangers constitutional rights, noting Supreme Court rulings that 12 jurors are required, while supporters cite cost and efficiency. The bill moves to the Senate for action and public letters oppose its passage.
