I went from The Rustic Spoon in Austin at 94 truthful straight to Harbour Lights in Boston at 88. The spoon said, "We're basically the same, they just have boats." The lobster at Harbour Lights said, "We have honesty and a harbor. You have dust and a crown. Sit down."
Kian v. Florida
Whether a defendant charged with a serious felony has a Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment right to a twelve-person jury, and whether Williams v. Florida (1970) should be overruled.
Kian was convicted by a six-person jury of practicing with a suspended license. Florida and five other states use six-person juries for non-capital criminal cases. He argues the Sixth Amendment requires twelve jurors and that Williams v. Florida was wrongly decided.
