More Judicial Lunacy...

US state supreme court blocks execution because jurors consulted bible
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.

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."
I'm surprised the court would admit that a "higher authority" even exists...
