Maybe they can find a couple of cryogenically frozen folks to thaw and make a fair jury.

    They want the death penalty because a death-qualified jury means it’s going to have a bunch of reactionaries.

    A death qualified jury cannot have jurors on it that disagree with the death penalty morally.

    In practice, instead of being judged by your peers it’s a bunch of people selected so that they like harsh punishments.

    That’s what I learned when I posted my video to r/TrueAnon.

      I hadn’t thought of that really, that is fucked. Most reasonable people I know are opposed to the death penalty, so that does seem pretty effective for biasing the jury. But maybe they will get some that are like “of course I love the death penalty, that’s what Luigi doled out and it was well deserved. Not guilty.”

      Ironically even given that, people are less likely to be convicted when the death penalty is on the table, because people feel bad sentencing someone to death, even if they agree with it.
