Supreme Court justices have declined to hear a case out of Arizona in which Ramin Khorrami challenged his conviction.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear a case out of Arizona in which a man, Ramin Khorrami, challenged his conviction by an eight-member jury.Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the high court should have done so and overturned a 1970 Supreme Court precedent in which the justices said a 12-member jury is not required.
Gorsuch wrote that six states allow smaller jury panels, a practice he said is “difficult to reconcile” with the Constitution.Khorrami was convicted after demanding money from a woman he had an affair with, threatening to reveal the affair to her husband if she didn't comply.
