I do think that the fact that saying you’re against the death penalty on principle is enough to disqualify you from the jury on a death penalty case has to leave you with a jury more likely to convict. I find it hard to imagine how it couldn’t. What other motive could the prosecutor possibly have for disqualifying…

You’ll pay much much more to house him on death row and see his appeals through the bitter end than if he was locked up and forgotten in the SuperMax facility in Colorado.

Exactly. This sentiment is precisely the belief / guiding principle of defense attorneys - the notion that even the most repugnant among us have basic rights that should be defended.

I... I... I don’t know that game.

The lawyers also point out that the practice of selecting a jury that requires “death qualification” cannot be controlled for prejudice.

They love jabbing Fox.

I still find it remarkable that this show is on the same network as Fox News.

Bring on the after school satan, it can’t possibly be worse. In our little school the “Good News” club is touted as free babysitting for an hour after school to poor & overextended working moms. Imagine their horror when the little darlings start having nightmares about hell and bringing home coloring book images of…

I teach Sunday School to tweens and I avoid anything that is even evangelism adjacent. It’s just not appropriate for the developmental reasons these whack jobs think it’s a good idea.

This seems so naturally sane, in a world of insane religious shit.

This kind of thing scares the evangelicals so badly, bless their hearts. I remember being one of them and becoming actively terrified of Satan lurking in the heavy metal music on the radio or at the back of the Spencers in the mall. The goat-head imagery popping up at the beginning of the video would have literally…

Aww. I was actually entertained by those books, until I realized the authors REALLY BELIEVED THAT STUFF and it wasn’t a sci-fi/fantasy reworking of the Book of Revelations because people were out of ideas for book plots.

I love happy endings!
