Thurgood Marshall, Williams v. Florida — Dissent
“ Utah, 170 U.S. 343, 349, 18 S.Ct. 620, 42 L.Ed. 1061 (1898) , that the jury guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment consists 'of twelve persons, neither more nor less.' As I see it, the Court has not made out a convincing case that the Sixth Amendment should be read differently than it was in Thompson even if the matter were now before us de novo-much less that an unbroken line of precedent going back over 70 years should be overruled. ”
