[QUOTE="witzend, post: 432479, member: 99"] I disagree. Before they were sworn for the jury, they testified that they could vote for the death penalty if after they found her guilty they found that the crime met the statutes for the death penalty. I know a lady who wanted to be on a jury so badly that she pulled that kind of thing on a rape victim. She said she could find the man guilty if the prosecution proved it's case, then she hung the jury in a not guilty because even though the prosecution DID make it's case she [I]personally[/I] felt a man was justified in raping his estranged wife at gunpoint because "that's a wife's duty." The judge found out (because she was such a big mouth) called a mistrial two weeks later and said he'd retry it if the prosecution wanted to. The wife couldn't go through it again and the "husband" walked away from it. The lady I worked with was lucky she didn't go to jail. There'll be none of this nonsense jury nullification in this case. They said that they could do it, and if the prosecution makes the case and they don't they will be outed by someone trying to sell a book or a tabloid story. This I promise you. If they find her guilty and there's no death penalty, they'll have a legal reason for that. [/QUOTE]
