The death sentence should never even be an option unless there's no question of guilt (i.e. caught red handed). For any crime. Trials by jury on balance of evidence are not, have never been and never will be infallible and there are waaay too many documented miscarriages of justice to be killing people based on a jury verdict. You just never hear about most of the overturned convictions. Not juicy enough for the press.

Not making a comment on this case in particular; just the idea of capital punishment vs jury of peers in general.

Put it this way; your jury could be made up of 10 random TiBB members.

F* **.
