Quote:I maybe am misunderstanding your point. Are you saying you think people who say no death penalty no matter what should be on a jury deciding a death penalty case?
I believe it's more an issue of how you ask the question. Anyone who has done research or formulated a survey understands you can modify the results by how you word the question. If you ask someone "would you be willing *insert action here*" you will most likely get a good bit of people who respond 'No' and a good bit of people who respond 'Hell Yes!'. Kandrathe's point is just that the wording of the question self selects for people who may be more interested in casting judgement than justice.
