Slate‘s Explainer has a nice item explaining nonunanimous criminal juries, which have indeed been held to be constitutional. I’d just add two small items:
-
The Sixth Amendment has been read as mandating unanimous juries in federal courts, though not state courts (one of the relatively few ways in which the Bill of Rights has been seen as applying differently to state governments via the Fourteenth Amendment than to the federal government). See Justice Powell’s separate concurrence in Apodaca v. Oregon, which was the controlling opinion on this question.
-
Even in state court, unanimity is required if a state uses 6-person juries. See Burch v. Louisiana. Six angry men (out of six) are enough, but five won’t do.
