Closed petition: Legally require unanimous jury verdicts for serious offences.
Closed on
We believe majority jury verdicts can lead to miscarriages of justice.
We think majority jury verdicts can risk unsafe convictions, which should always be proved "beyond reasonable doubt". We believe the principle of jury unanimity should be reinstated for indictable only offences.
