MRT CHH

Holdridge J., dissents and would stay the matter. The decision whether to apply Ramos v. Louisiana, _ U. S. 140 S. Ct. 1390, 206 L. Ed. 2d 583 ( 2020) retroactively and grant postconviction relief on state collateral review to defendants convicted by non - unanimous juries in all or certain circumstances remains with the Louisiana Supreme Court. A state court may give broader effect to new rules of criminal procedure than is required by the relevant opinion. See Danforth v. Minnesota, 552 U. S. 264, 128 S. Ct. 1029, 169 L. Ed. 2d 859 ( 2008).
