The jury isn't supposed to do God's job of determining the state of the accused's soul - they must determine his earthly guilt and sentence for earthly crimes. The prosecutor had a valid point. The defense atty had his say, the jury heard it, the prosecutor debunked it. That's his job.
The 9th circuit court of appeals is a DANGEROUS enemy of America.
The jury isn't supposed to do God's job of determining the state of the accused's soul - they must determine his earthly guilt and sentence for earthly crimes. The prosecutor had a valid point. The defense atty had his say, the jury heard it, the prosecutor debunked it. That's his job. Actually, if you are rational about it, the defendants conversion to Christianity is a good reason to go ahead and sentance him to death.
If someone is not a Christian, when you execute him you are not only killing his body, but condemning his iortal soul to Hell. With a convert, you are only killing his body, and given the chance that he will abandon his faith later, you are doing him a positive ffavor by executiong him while he believes.
