I’m surprised by that. My father’s been a jury foreman so many times it’s almost been a running joke and they always ask the jury pool with potentially capital cases, “Do you think knowing the death penalty is on the table would stop you from being able to decide this case ?” And they’ve excused jurors on that basis.

@bijouxbroussard Exactly my experience.

@LyricalOne Yes. I hope where he’s referring to isn’t in the U.S. Jury service is compulsory here. So I figure since I don’t want to be responsible for someone’s [b]death[/b], even down the line, I’d want to have an informed [b]choice[/b] about participating.
