Senate panel OKs jury discretion bill referendum this year
A Senate committee endorsed the Fully Informed Jury Act proposing a November referendum to broaden jury discretion in verdicts. The bill would require judges to inform juries of the right to apply law and facts differently, with reversal of conviction for failure to inform. Supporters push for openness while critics warn of dangerous legal precedent. The measure faces a full Senate vote before the House and would appear on November 8 if approved.
