VanSusteren: Juries can decide death penalty but not civil damages?

[Darby]

She asks Guliani

Why is it ok for juries to decide to put someone to death, but not to decide how much insurance money to compensate them with?

EXCELLENT question.

[mbali]

1. What was his answer?

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. Well she is a lawyer...

I'll give her a half a point for that

[Darby]

3. Dodge, then non-responsive blanket answer

First he said, oh how funny what an emotional issue

But she pegged him on it again

And he said, well the whole system is broken and people want reform


In other words, he did not answer her question.

4. I liked her, and was shocked that she went to FOX

and was willing to get an eye job. I still am suprised she is at FAUX.
She had so much going for her.:shrug:

5. That is an awesome question.

6. Bush's Pa speech this morning attacked Edwards as trial atty

So, it's ok for juries to put someone to death, but not to determine monetary damages?

Bush should CERTAINLY know about putting people to death, given his TX record.
