SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Advocates for over 200 people found guilty of crimes by Oregon juries that weren’t unanimous say they’ll keep fighting to have the convictions vacated. That’s despite the U.S. Supreme Court ruling Monday that those people don’t need to be retried even after it barred the practice a year ago. Oregon and Louisiana were the only two states that had allowed convictions by non-unanimous juries. The Criminal Justice Reform Clinic at Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland said it will keep working on behalf of those who have exhausted all their appeals. Oregon’s attorney general said her office will review every case that’s presented.
