Question presented
Whether Petitioner was deprived of his right, under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, to a trial by a 12-person jury when the defendant is charged with a serious felony? In Kian v. Florida, No. 25-6623, the Court has granted certiorari on the identical question. This case should at least be held pending resolution of that case.
