My grandmother was on a jury that found a man guilty of killing a Highway Patrolman outside of St. Louis. She was probably the kindest, least judgmental person I've ever met, and the jury had little issue recommending the death penalty. They finally iced the mother****er about 15 years later, but only after he starred in a Benetton ad.
