Debate about the Jury System (especially, Jury Selection).

I found this article from MSNBS site.
The Jury Selection.
(www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22884508/)

As you can see this article is about Manslaughter Trial For Man Accused Of Providing Gun To Boy and the process of jury selection.
Derrick Glover furnished a handgun to Tony Youmans (middle-school student, only 12-year-old boy)
and Tony Youmans shot himself that handgun in the head. and suicide himself.
Glover is accused for manslaughter, furnishing a firearm to minor etc.
and the criminal procedure is going to start. In the pre-trial, the process of jury selection is begun.

In my opinion, he assisted young man's suicide, and he is guilty.
South Korea is adopting Jury system(petit jury) recently. and I am very interested in the U.S. jury system.
But In the United States, Jury System is not always useful and just. For Example, O.J. Simpson Case, Rodney king case, etc.
I think the most important thing, that the Jury System is going Well, is reasonable jury selection process.

Debate about the death penalty-lethal injuction

I found this article from MSNBS site.
(www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22650019)

As you can see this article is about lethal injection, the one method of death penalty. Kentucky death row inmate Ralph Baze, who was convicted of killing a Powell County sheriff and deputy say the three drugs used by Kentucky for execution are far too complex, and that they violate his constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment. (the Bill of Right : Amendments to the Constitution 8th)
Baze bring an suit about this to the U.S. Supreme Court.
and the Supreme Court review this problem now.

The execution of the death penalty exist many methods. for example, electrocution, hanging, firing squad, gas chamber, decapitation ect.
the lethal injection is adopted recently, as alternative of other methods.

I think If the Supreme Court decide that Lethal Injection is violated The Right of Freedom From the cruel and unusual punishment, It means abolition of the death penalty without adopting less painful methods than lethal injection.
but In my experience, the death penalty is necessary to preventing crimes, social security etc.
