- Why would we need to broadcast any penalty? The all-prison channel? - Will Hunting May 15, 12:36 5

    - That's what I mean about sensational/prejudicial evidence though. Anti-dpers will want to prejudice the debate by showing it to make their point - Max May 15, 12:41 3

        If it's not relevant to guilt, but then the jury agrees on guilt, can sensational evidence be then shown during penalty phase? -- nm - Max May 15, 12:45 1
        
        [deleted]
- Also, I think the other answer is because the last public execution was botched. -- nm - Max May 15, 12:35
- Agreed. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 12:34
- Same reason why we like hamburgers and not interested in how they're made. -- nm - budice May 15, 12:33 1
  - I've never understood why people don't want to see the hamburger stork. -- nm - Loyola May 15, 12:35
- Why do we have trials but not allow sensational evidence to be presented to the jury? -- nm - Max May 15, 12:31 4
  - [deleted]
  - There was a plethora of graphic photos and videos shown at trial -- nm - professor smartbrain May 15, 12:32 2
    - But that's a rule in the court system, isn't it? You wouldn't be able to show an entire video of a screaming torture death, say. -- nm - Max May 15, 12:34 1
      - oh, yes you can (at least here). The Bernardo videos were shown to the jury. Then destroyed after conviction. -- nm - Andie May 15, 12:36

  - Only three. Yikes. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:27 1
    - it may be that the others thought that he was influenced by but still primarily acted of his own free will. - b. May 15, 12:36

- Can one holdout reduce it from death to life? - professor smartbrain May 15, 12:05 1
  - Yeah, 1 holdout = life...that it's a quick resolution seems they didn't have to try to convince anyone. -- nm - Will Hunting May 15, 12:06
- I honestly don't know. - Mel Profit May 15, 12:03

        Just over a day of deliberations. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:05 18
        
        i really don't know if twelve people could all really quickly decide to kill someone. -- nm - Andie May 15, 12:07 5
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Would you then expect it to be a sizable majority for no death? - Will Hunting May 15, 12:14 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think they've had 2 years to think about it. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:08

        I would just say "You'll NEVER convince me guys, I'm willing to stay here for weeks. You want to go home: give in a life sentence" -- nm - Guigue May 15, 12:07 10
        
        I'd imagine the jury would then report you for having lied under jury selection and you'd be gone. - Will Hunting May 15, 12:12
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I wouldn't lie to begin with, so I guess I'd never make it there anyway -- nm - Guigue May 15, 12:15
        
        This is how I now I'd never get selected for a DP case. - ty97 May 15, 12:09 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        Yup, but it doesn't matter. There's zero way I'd ever vote for death - ty97 May 15, 12:16 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        It goes beyond rules for me. I think the death penalty itself is murder. - ty97 May 15, 12:22 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        i don't think it's a matter of law in this case. i'm the same way. i don't see putting a convict to death as anything other than murder. you can tell - Andie May 15, 12:31
        
        I'm not familiar with when deliberations started? -- nm - ty97 May 15, 12:05
- My hope is "no". I won't miss him if he is executed, but I don't think execution speaks very well of us as a people. -- nm - TWuG May 15, 11:59
- By dragging his body along the 26.2 mile route so he's good and mangled and dead when he reaches the finish line -- nm - CQ May 15, 11:58 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Does he even want it? How committed is he to the cause? -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:00 1
      - He discovered his will to live after being hauled out of his hiding boat. - Mel Profit May 15, 12:04

  - His bullet riddled confession on the side of the boat is all I needed. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 11:55 5

      - I read this as, "Would you drop him in a tank of sharks?" -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 12:23 1
        
        Oh! I'm a maybe on that one. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:32
      - No. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 12:16
      - Yes. -- nm - Spawn May 15, 12:08
- No. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 15, 11:52
- I hope so. it costs a fortune to keep him alive for 50 more years -- nm - Peglegpete May 15, 11:51 1
  - And it'll cost a fortune to eventually execute him in 15 years - Guigue May 15, 11:57

bonus friday hax chat q: does sister's new racist BF get a pass because he's the only one she's dated since h.s. and she's 48 now - professor smartbrain May 15, 11:29 6
- First of all, you don't get to decide who your sister dates. Next time you see them, if he says something offensive, just speak up. - Andie May 15, 11:42 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - she really does, especially the personal comments. no surprise her sister might have felt lack of support for dating efforts, not just online. - b. May 15, 11:53
    - I'm interested in knowing what the BF said exactly. -- nm - Shaun May 15, 11:52
