I guess people should over look their religious beliefs in determining a life or death sentence.

God forbid if ethics and morals plays a role in any of this.

The Bibles were in the deliberation room, which is against the law.

i thought "kill" meant "kill." thanks for the theology lesson now i realize that it's okay for christians to kill people they believe to have committed a crime.

i'm pretty sure you can appeal the sentence without appealing the verdict.

They also had specific instructions from the judge:

not a theology lesson. track the language back.

That DOESN'T make it against the law.

At most it sets precedent but outlaws nothing.

Sure.

They have grounds for that but NOTHING about this is illegal in any way shape or form.

So, wait, you support trampling on the constitution? You support jurors defying the orders of a judge?

First, there is nothing unconstitutional about a juror looking to his or her bible for help.

Second, Judges are about as bias as anyone else that's why we have the supreme court.

If they had a problem with this they should have figured it out during the jury selection process.

Yes, this is an odd issue but it should have been figured out then.

Next time they should ask the question "do any of you plan on using your bibles as influence in your verdict"

To say they cant use their "book of morals and ethics" would be unconstitutional.

Those people did nothing wrong and nothing illegal.

On what grounds? The Bible says murders should die. So does Toby Keith's Beer for my horses, which I'm sure jurors heard on there way to the courthouse.

Where do you draw the line on outside influences?

Once again, you really don't know what you're talking about.

Use of Religious Source Material

It is simply not allowed. You cannot have any material in the deliberation room that can be classified as an external influence. Bibles with specific highlighted passages would be classified as such.

There's nothing wrong with relying on your knowledge of the Bible and it's teachings to reach your decision. The issue is actually having the Bible in the deliberation room. That is unconstitutional.
