New jury selection rules in death penalty cases.
This law changes court procedures for cases involving the death penalty. If a jury cannot unanimously decide on a sentence, a new jury will be impaneled. This ensures that decisions in such critical cases are made according to legal requirements.
Key points
If a jury fails to reach a unanimous recommendation on a death penalty sentence, a new jury will be impaneled.
If the second jury also fails to reach a unanimous recommendation, the court will impose a sentence other than death.
