You’d think after a while I’d stop being so shocked about crap like this happening :

Trying to decide whether to sentence a convicted killer to die, jurors Ridawn Yantis Cummings and Lana Eaton-Ochoa scoured the Bible for passages pertaining to the death penalty.

The jury eventually sentenced Robert Harlan to death after the 1995 trial. But a judge on Friday threw out the sentence, saying jurors improperly relied on the “eye for an eye” teachings of the Bible.
. . .
“If any case merits the death penalty, there cannot be serious debate about this case being that case,” Vigil wrote. “The death penalty, however, must be imposed in a constitutional manner…. Jury resort to biblical code has no place in a constitutional death penalty proceeding.”

Harlan had appealed, arguing that the Bible is not part of Colorado law.

All 12 jurors testified earlier this year at a hearing on the appeal. Several jurors, including Eaton-Ochoa, said they wrote down references from the Bible on note cards, brought the cards into the deliberation room and read them aloud.

Among the Bible passages was Leviticus 24:20, which reads, “fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, as he has caused disfigurement of a man, so shall it be done to him.”

Since the jurors seemed so keen on using Leviticus to determine the outcome of a murder trial, would they have delivered a “Not Guilty” verdict if the victim was a priest’s slutty daughter or a fortune teller?
