Colorado Judges Overturn Death Sentence, because Jurors referred to Bible
WTF is this?
Colorado Supreme Court commuted a death sentence of a killer, and might as well have released him. Why did they do this? Well, apparently the liberal defense attorneys said that the juror's using Biblical Texts was prejudicial and insured a more harsh punishment than deserved. He killed and raped and mutilated the victim. That killer needed stoning.
But the court now says you better not get religious in the courtroom, you may go in a killer's place while they go scott free.
