The "Constitution" should have protected the jurors from having to decide ones fate.
The restriction in the "1st amendment" concerning the free "practice of religion",
[prohibiting the free exercise thereof] below, bill of rights.
protects the publics rights.
One of which is: The right to follow bible rules: un-hindered.
One bible rule is: "judge not least you be judged".
A person shouldnt [judge a person with regards to "life and death"].
[the judicial system is under oath to abide by the Constituttion], and its "bill of rights".

The Courts of America should NOT require jurys to decide if a person should "live or die", it violates the restriction imposed on the "Constitution" by the 1st amendment and a persons conscience.
The Jury is supposed to decide guilt or innocence, NOT life or death.


Comment:
In all fairness to the "people" of America, the "justice system" should act in behalf of the "people of the United States" against the "federal government" to protect the "peoples" libertys and freedoms outlined in the "bill of rights" and to ensure the justice of the U.S. Court System.
Bill of Rights Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
