An eye for an eye

From WorldNetDaily comes this report on a Colorado judge who overturned the death sentence of a convicted rapist-murdered because jurors read the Bible during their deliberations. The judge held that “jury resort to biblical code has no place in a constitutional death penalty proceeding.” More persuasive to me is the view of the local prosecutors that jurors are not “prohibited from referring to their own personal moral standards — including the Holy Bible — while deliberating and reaching their verdict.”
