mei lan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Good analysis. If it was Texas, duh...however, not sure what this Massachusetts jury Wil do. At least he will never walk the streets again. Link to post Share on other sites
gpatt0n Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 My question is that was the jury, during voir dire, qualified for the death penalty ... i.e. did all of them suggest that they could in good conscious inflict the death penalty. My understanding is that in many jurisdictions - including Georgia - it is legal for the prosecutor to ask if the person is against the death penalty and dismiss every single jurors who said yes, for cause and without limit. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
mei lan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 Pretty sure that's correct for here. However, I don't know about other states. Don't both sides have a limit on strikes? Also, isn't this a federal trial? Would rules be different? Link to post Share on other sites
