‘Hope of salvation’

Duncan said he wasn’t telling the jury about the effect little Shasta had on him – prompting him to change his mind about killing her – because he thought he’d been redeemed. “This is not for my own salvation, but it’s for the hope of yours and all of us together,” he said as he completed his closing statement.

At that, federal prosecutor Wendy Olson offered her rebuttal. The jury should find him eligible for the death penalty, she said. “Nothing that Mr. Duncan has said or argued to you changes the fact that the evidence has proven each of these eligibility factors beyond a reasonable doubt.”
