Texas allows fewer jurors in noncapital felony trials
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled 5 to 4 that a felony case not involving death penalty can proceed with 11 jurors if the defendant and prosecutors consent. The decision upends a 1995 ruling requiring 12 jurors, citing legislative changes since 1907 and 1985. Dissenters warned the ruling undermines the Texas Bill of Rights and risks coercing defendants to accept smaller juries.
