"This is outrageous. The judges involved should be removed from the bench immediately. This is out and out religious BIGOTRY. No other word for it."

I'm surprised how many people on this thread are unfamiliar with the standard rules governing juries. This case has nothing to do with prejudice against the Bible. The ruling would have been the same if the jury had consulted a book by (secular liberals) Alan Dershowitz or Laurence Tribe.

They're not unfamiliar with them. They just don't like them, and feel they can do whatever the hell they want in a jury room.

This website is losing its collective mind.

Wouldn't the bible be a part of the trial......aren't witnesses still sworn in with their hand on it?
