{"product_id":"jim-crows-last-stand-thomas-aiello-9780807172377","title":"Jim Crow's Last Stand: Nonunanimous Criminal Jury Verdicts in Louisiana","description":"\u003cp\u003eA remnant of the racist post-Reconstruction Redeemer sociopolitical agenda, Louisiana's nonunanimous jury-verdict law permitted juries to convict criminal defendants with only nine, and later ten, out of twelve votes: a legal oddity. On the surface, it was meant to speed convictions. In practice, the law funneled many convicts--especially African Americans--into Louisiana's burgeoning convict lease system. Although it faced multiple legal challenges through the years, the law endured well after convict leasing had ended. Few were aware of its existence, let alone its original purpose. In fact, the original publication of \u003ci\u003eJim Crow's Last Stand\u003c\/i\u003e was one of the first attempts to call attention to the historical injustice caused by this law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis updated edition of \u003ci\u003eJim Crow's Last Stand \u003c\/i\u003eunpacks the origins of the statute in Bourbon Louisiana, traces its survival through the civil rights era, and ends with the successful effort to overturn the nonunanimous jury practice, a policy that officially went into effect on January 1, 2019.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Aiello\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807172375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807172377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.49d","brand":"Thomas Aiello","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980570919167,"sku":"9780807172377","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ed381d3-54b4-4c7d-9106-5776fb9b741c.jpg?v=1683250660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jim-crows-last-stand-thomas-aiello-9780807172377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
