We shine a light on the real issues and voices that mainstream media too often ignores.

In our latest coverage, we highlight the significant progress made on 10-2, when a key reform measure passed through floor deliberations with majority support. This marks a pivotal step forward in the fight for institutional accountability and justice reform — a signal that momentum is building on the legislative front.

We’re here daily with narratives that challenge, inspire, and inform — because in the Purple Edition, the news is personal, the stakes are real, and the mission is clear.

Louisiana residents — we need your voice. Nearly 1,000 people remain in prison today because they were convicted by non-unanimous (10-2) juries — a Jim Crow-era law that has been ruled unconstitutional but still haunts our state. The time to fix this injustice is NOW.

A bill is moving through the Legislature that would give these individuals a chance at a fair retrial — but it won’t pass unless lawmakers hear from YOU.

Contact State Senator J. Cameron Henry, Jr. TODAY and urge him to VOTE YES on legislation that allows retrials for those convicted by split juries.

SUMMARY

In a landmark decision, the Louisiana Senate Committee has voted 5-1 to advance Senate Bill 218, potentially opening the door for hundreds of individuals convicted by non-unanimous juries to seek justice. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Royce Duplessis, specifically targets convictions made under Louisiana's controversial Jim Crow-era 10-2 jury verdict law. This legislation could directly impact cases like Corey Miller's, where a split jury (10-2) secured his conviction despite the absence of physical evidence. If passed, SB218 would take effect August 1, 2025, creating a clear pathway for post-conviction relief for those convicted by non-unanimous juries. The bill's strong committee support signals a potential shift in Louisiana's approach to addressing historical injustices in its criminal justice system, particularly those rooted in Jim Crow-era laws. The legislation now moves to the full Senate floor for consideration, marking a crucial step toward potential reform.
