Join Baton Rouge Community Radio for special live coverage of the 2018 mid-term election returns hosted by the award-winning team from Democracy Now! and The Intercept, with many special guests and the results as they come in throughout Tuesday evening. WHYR’s volunteers will also keep you apprised of Louisiana and Baton Rouge election results, like Constitutional Amendment #2 for unanimous jury verdicts. Live coverage starts at 8:00pm and will continue until it’s over. We hope you can tune in this Tuesday for coverage of this historical and important election on your Community Radio station in Louisana’s Capital City.

This week’s A Pause for Thought features Southern University Law Professor Angela Allen-Bell on Louisiana’s unusual non-unanimous jury law and the upcoming November 6th vote on constitutional amendment #2 to change the law to require jury unanimity. You can listen on-demand here to host Wayne Parker and Dr. Allen-Bell discuss the history of the 10-2 jury law, its effects in Louisiana courtrooms, and the efforts to reform the law leading up to this November’s mid-term election vote.
