Church & State separate ? Not in Colorado

I'm not sure why this bothers you - a judge threw out the death penalty because religion was used in determining his fate. I would think you would applaud that.

I, however, am disturbed by it. I could be wrong, but I don't think it is within the purview of a judge to look at the reason (or one of the reasons) that a jury came to their verdict. What he has done is put himself in the deliberation room at that point, and i think that is wrong. That is not his job.
