EOB: Each Juror Has Power To Save Duncan

Here’s how high the stakes are in the jury selection that’s now under way in the Joseph Duncan case: If just one juror objects in any of three different votes, Duncan would be spared the death penalty. That’s what happened in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called “20th hijacker” from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. He’s serving a life sentence without possibility of release at the federal Supermax prison in Colorado, after a single juror opposed the death penalty on the final vote in his federal terrorism trial/ Betsy Russell , Eye On Boise.

Question: Do you agree with the system that allows any juror to oppose the death penalty and save a loathsome individual like Duncan?
