The US Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether criminal trials in the United States can be conducted with juries of six people rather than the traditional 12. The issue is being reviewed in connection with a Florida case that challenges the use of smaller juries in criminal proceedings. The question before the court centers on whether state governments may constitutionally empanel six-person juries for criminal trials, or whether a 12-person jury is required. The agreement to hear the case signals that the court will address the legal limits—under the US Constitution and relevant precedent—on how juries are structured in criminal cases. The outcome is expected to affect jury selection practices across states that have used or are considering smaller juries for criminal matters. The decision will determine whether six-person juries can remain in place for criminal trials or whether courts will need to revert to 12-person juries.
