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

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.

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

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.
