LOS ANGELES (AFP) - The supreme court of the western US state of Colorado has quashed a death sentence handed down to a convicted murderer and rapist after jurors consulted the Bible in reaching their verdict.I'm surprised the court would admit that a "higher authority" even exists...
The court on Monday ruled that the Bible, which includes the ancient premise of "eye for an eye" justice, constituted an improper outside influence and a reliance on what the judges called a "higher authority."
