Jurors who would nullify the law had no right to be on the jury.
-roscoe- totally confused again

How could a juror know that s/he would nullify before hearing the facts & law specific to the case?

The potential jurors were asked about their ability to apply a capital punishment law. Try to keep up.
-roscoe- spins again

Immaterial to ~our~ issue. You can answer yes to capital punishment, and still nullify based on the facts & law of the case, as presented.
-- Try to show some logic, roscoe.

Potential jurors who expressed an unwillingness during voir dire to follow the law could be excluded from service. They had no "right" to be on the jury.
