SCOTUS to Hear Constitutionality of
Six-Person Juries
The United States Supreme Court will hear Kian v. Florida, the case of Hamed Kian, addressing the constitutionality of six-person juries. Kain is asking the Court to overrule a 1970’s decision, Williams v. Florida, in which the Court ruled the Sixth Amendment does not require the accused to be judged by a twelve-person jury. Case briefings are still underway, and the Petitioner’s Opening Brief is Due on August 6, 2026.
