rit granted. The matter is transferred to the court of appeal to conduct a n
error patent review in light of Ramos v. Louisiana , 590 U.S. — (2020). If the non-
unanimous jury claim was not preserved for review in the trial court or was
abandoned during any stage of the proceedings, the court of appeal should
nonetheless consider the issue as part of its error patent review. See La.C.Cr.P. art.
920(2).
The present matter was pending on direct review when Ramos v. Louisiana
was decided, and therefore the holding of Ramos applies. See Griffith v. Kentucky, 479 U.S. 314 (1987). Nothing herein should be construed as a determination as to
whether that ruling will apply retroactively on state collateral review to those
convictions and sentences that were final when Ramos was decided.
