The Case of Troy Davis

[kandrathe]

Until then, kill no one on the basis of corrupt cops, incompetent defense attorneys, twelve people too stupid to dodge jury duty, and senile judges.

Another problem with our system is that death penalty jurors are screened to only allow those that are willing to sentence someone to death. This skews the jury in favor of higher conviction rate and harsher sentencing than would a true random selection of 12 "peers".
