QUESTION $8$

In $2022,$ Hawaii changed its law regarding the death penalty. Citing long and expensive trials, the Hawaiin legislature streamlined the process. Instead of having $12$ jurors, like at a normal trial, a case where the state is seeking the death penalty now has $18$ jurors who are responsible for deciding guilt and whether the accused will be sentenced to death.

What is the likeliest outcome if somebody sues Hawaii for the new law?

The Court will strike this law because juries must have $12$ members

The Court will allow this law because having $18$ jurors ensures due process

The Court will strike this law, as they require separate jurors to determine guilt and the sentence

The Court will allow this law because it is not applied in an arbitrary manner
