Click2Houston commentator says this jury is probably more lenient and that the 'do you support the death penalty' question was not asked of them. Thus, we probably can expect a 'mental illness' decision.

I've been listening to the coverage for the last 15 minutes or so and heard that too.From what I've heard,I think that means that no attempt was made to make the jury "death certified" which,I think,would be required if the state was seeking the death penalty.

My sense is that that's all it means.

The current jury was not asked about support for the death penalty because the prosecution was barred from seeking the death penalty in the retrial.
