https://archive.is/Ckw47 - Much like overriding a veto, the threshold to sentence a motherfucker to death is now 2/3rds majority. You can thank liberals lying about their positions and poisoning jury pools for this, as with the Parkland asshole.

There. Simple understandable title. Fuck off, I'm done trying to make the depressing shit fun and with this fucking sub.
Agree all round, and I’m honestly a little wary of the proposal to allow the death penalty from a non-unanimous jury. I get that there will be people who never want anyone executed, but that’s luck of the draw / a sign the prosecutor should do voir dire better. I’m wary enough of the potential for innocent people to be executed, and of the fact that criminal trials vary as to how much a stickler for truth the jury and prosecutors are, that I want every possible safeguard against it. Life in prison without parole has a drawback of costing the taxpayers, but I still don’t want the state killing anyone unless were damn sure about it.
