CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Provides relative to post conviction relief for defendants convicted by a non-unanimous jury verdict. (8/1/25)

SB 218 allows defendants convicted by a non-unanimous jury verdict to seek post-conviction relief, potentially leading to a new trial. It directly affects individuals in criminal cases where the jury did not reach unanimous agreement on a guilty verdict. The bill establishes a specific legal process for these defendants to challenge their conviction after sentencing. This is a procedural change to criminal procedure law, not a new policy or funding measure.
