You're misunderstanding the situation. Lawyers aren't allowed to ask "If you're on the jury, will you allow the death penalty?" In order to get around that rule, they make the question more vague. It's none of their fucking business what I believe in, as it's my right to bring my philosophy onto the jury. I'm not misrepresenting anything, I'm just not going to tell them what they're not allowed to ask for. I'm not allowing them to cheat. Or do you think that people who are against the death penalty not be on a jury where it's a possibility? Isn't that kinda dishonest?

My beliefs aren't against the law, so they're allowed. It's not illegal for a juror to say the death penalty isn't the right punishment. If the person is guilty, then we all agree that life in prison would be the best way to go. Besides, I'm a pretty fair guy. Anyone would be lucky to get me on their jury instead of some idiot who doesn't understand that he's being toyed around with by the lawyers.

They can, just not nearly as often as I figured. Still, touche.
