The Supreme Court granted a motion for reconsideration in a case where the defendant was convicted of rape and sentenced to death. The prosecution argued the court lacked a quorum when it deliberated the case as only 7 justices signed the decision, while the constitution does not specify the number of justices required for a quorum when the court meets en banc. Considering the defendant's life was at stake, the court deemed it wise to resubmit the case to the full court for re-deliberation.
