Yes, I think it would take something serious to remove a juror and replace with an alternate.
I think a hung jury would be worse than LWOP. TW is right. If she's given LWOP, then she pretty much disappears and that's what most people want...for her to just go away. A hung jury would probably mean a new penalty phase down the road and this whole ugly saga will just keep going and going. It really is enough already.
My DH is shocked right now. He felt since the jury found unanimously for both M1-premed and the especially cruel aggravating factor, then they would surely agree this warrants the DP. He didn't see the whole trial, just snippets and my biased commentary. But we were both floored when both OJ and Tot Mom (LOL) were acqutted so just goes to show how much we know.
I think maybe people realize when they vote for the death penalty that it's just as though they're killing the person themselves. And regardless of the law, they may not think it's right to kill another human being and they want no part of doing it. Especially if they're Christians and actually follow the teachings of Christ rather than being hypocrites like most Christians are.

That's why they would not be able to serve on a DP case. That's part of what jury selection is for...weeding out those potential jurors who conscientiously object to the DP no matter the circumstances.

Glad to see ya, Doc!
Me too, pro death penalty Christian.
Question: was Jodi's family in court when the judge told the jury to get back to work.
I have been trying to find them, mI'm sure they weren't
Yeah, the court room didnt look real full...saw travis family there.
I am suspicious as to why they were there so early? Was it to be a constant reminder to the jury when they came out with questions? "Here we are, we are waiting! "

Cool. Guess we are HIPPO-crites according to some.
Don't forget they were unanimous on the premeditation and unanimous on the aggravating factor being proven so they've been in agreement much more than not. I have hope they will have a unanimous decision, just don't know what that will be.

maybe they thought it would be quick. A lot of us did

These jurors were DP qualified so they should be able to do it I feel it is more the split of felony and non felony with the jurors. there was a 7-5 split at conviction.

Well, sometimes I don't think people even realize they feel that way until presented with the actual opportunity to have someone put to death. And when the reality hits them of what they are doing, they balk.

I would not be able to do it. I would have been weeded out as a juror. But if you are death penalty qualified, and you follow the law, and you have reached all these other thresholds, it is perplexing that they are having such a difficult time in light of the scant mitigation.
Pro-death penalty Christians. That's why I quit going to church. I couldn't stand the hyprocrisy.

Even juror 8 said it was different qualifying than it would be to impose it
But what difference would that make? They are both DP convictions and they all agreed premed plus aggravated?
I'm an anti death penalty atheist also I'm a human.... why are we identifying religious affiliations?
