Why? Defense attorneys can also ask whether you think murderers should always be put to death, and exclude you on that basis. The point is that since the Court decided that death penalty can't be meted by a judge, but rather must be a jury verdict, one must expect criminal courts to convene a jury that will weigh whether the death penalty is appropriate. If someone has an ideological bent, then they certainly won't weigh whether something meets a certain legal standard.The practice of selecting what’s called a death-qualified jury should shock you.
