[Lunatic Fringe]

I am very disappointed in this sentence. But it is supported by the law.

Under Texas law, the juries have to decide two questions, both unanimously, before they can pass death sentences. The first is whether the defendant would be a danger to society in the future. If the jurors aren't unanimous in saying he or she would, then the defendant would be given an automatic life prison term.

I would have no trouble in saying that "Ms." Yates could be a danger to society in the future." No trouble at all saying that. I would not want to sit next to "Ms." Yates for five seconds, much less put her into society.

Yes, Texas law "is an ass."
