[Old Sarge]

Now, if the jurors had read the Koran, which urges the faithful to all sorts of death-penalty level acts, would the sentence be changed? If so, how?

If a juror wants to quote the Koran, what is the problem with that? I would be interested in what he had to say, if I were another juror. If I thought it was wrong, I would not be unduly influenced by it. But some people cannot discuss morality without quoting the Koran. To do so is considered Apostasy. Are they to be prevented from discussing matters of morality when serving on a jury?
