The Supreme Court delivered a decisive blow to efforts targeting former President Donald Trump, ruling that certain jury instructions used in criminal cases are unconstitutional. This ruling could potentially impact ongoing cases, including those involving Trump.
The case, known for its implications on criminal convictions and sentencing enhancements, has reverberated through legal circles and political arenas alike.
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision underscored two critical points: first, that juries must reach unanimous findings in criminal convictions, and second, that sentencing enhancements cannot be arbitrarily imposed by judicial discretion.
