Missouri SJR110 proposes an amendment to the state constitution, specifically altering the provisions for jury trial waivers in criminal cases. The amendment repeals the existing section 22(a) of article I and introduces a new section. It allows for juries in courts not of record to consist of fewer than twelve citizens, with a two-thirds majority needed to render a verdict in civil cases. In courts of record, three-fourths of the jury must concur for a verdict in civil cases.
