Jurors verdict Disqualified because they read the Bible

My thanks to Dave Gulliver, from whom I heard about this first.

Judge Greer in Florida isn’t the only Moonbat on the bench. (not a surprise)

In 1994 Robert Harlan kidnapped a 25 year old waitress at gunpoint, raped her for two hours, and then shot and killed her.

Associated Press is now reporting the Colorado Supreme Court has thrown out Harlan’s 1995 death-penalty sentence because some of the jurors consulted a bible during sentencing deliberations.

Harlan’s defense lawyers discovered that 5 members of the jury consulted the Bible during their sentencing deliberations. The Court bought the defense argument that felt that this may have influenced the jurors to vote for the death penalty instead of life imprisonment. Defense attorney Kathleen Lord volunteered to let Harlan live at her house argued that it was wrong for the jurors to look outside the law (for advice).

What cheeses me most about this story, is this flies in the face of all past interpretations the longstanding tradition that jurors be shielded from outside influences. The rule was meant to keep juries isolated from news sources and the media. But these Buttheads Supreme Court Justices have deliberately targeted the Bible as an undesirable influence. In their zeal to protect Robert Harlan's rights ( compare that to how Terri Schiavo's rights were protected ) they've "gone Boulder."

This means they’re incompetent, or it was a deliberate act…

Either way, they’ve earned my contempt.
