STATE OF LOUISIANA * NO. 2019-KA-0901 VERSUS * COURT OF APPEAL GABRIEL O HUNTER * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA * * ******* SCJ JENKINS, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS I join the majority opinion in vacating the defendant’s conviction and sentence based upon the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in Ramos v. Louisiana, __ U.S. __, 140 S.Ct. 1390, __ L.Ed.2d __, 2020 WL 1906545 (2020), holding that non-unanimous jury verdicts in state felony trials are unconstitutional. But, in light of the fact that the defendant’s conviction must been vacated and set aside on that first assigned error, I find that all other assignments of error, including the sufficiency of evidence, are rendered moot. Thus, I would pretermit discussion of all other assignments of error.
