Could You Serve On Joseph Duncan Jury?

Item: Duncan jury pool at 350, but is that enough? Prosecutors may have a tough time finding 12 people and 3 alternates to decide whether the confessed killer should die /Rebecca Boone, AP.

More Info: His guilt is beyond question, his crime beyond comprehension. The issue for the jury will be whether Joseph Edward Duncan III deserves to die for kidnapping two young siblings in a bloodbath at their home and whisking them away to the remote wilderness of western Montana, where he tortured and raped them, and then killed the 9-year-old boy. Some 350 jury candidates are expected to show up at a downtown Boise convention center on Monday, when attorneys will begin to winnow the pool down to the 12 jurors plus three alternates who will decide Duncan’s fate. Duncan pleaded guilty in December to federal charges that could bring the death penalty.

Question: Could you serve as a juror on the Duncan case?
