[Congressman Billybob]

Every time you see a verdict where the jury went squish and failed to impose a death penalty on a defendant who richly deserved it, remember who is responsible. It was the SUPREME COURT that rewrote the Constitution and required that juries rather than judges impose the sentence of death.

Remember that for 600 years, first in the English common law and then in the American common law that sentences were handed down by JUDGES, not by JURIES. So reprehensible decisions like the Malvo verdict should be laid at the doorstep of the Supreme Court.

Hello, the Jury has no responsibility in the matter? Even without this a Jury could still go squish by finding guilt of something less than capital murder. All that changed is how a Jury that wants to go squish, will go squish.
