Someone I know got out of jury duty, because during selection he was
asked a hypothetical question about capital punishment. His answer was
something flowerdy, like.

"I wish to be a fair person and I believe in jurisprudence, And to
uphold the integrity of this honored court. I also believe that if the
evidence would weigh heavily against the defendant I would move that
we hang the little B*st*rd and get on with life.

"Thank you, you are dismissed"

Last case I got called for was a murder 1, capital case. Asked my opinion
on the death penalty, I stated I can go either way. That we really do not
have a death penalty in this state as it takes years if ever to execute.
Costs 10 times the amount to keep them for life. So I am inclined to go for
life without parole, but I would have no problem with them getting a death
penalty. Was not the reason they did not like me for the jury,
