I was incensed when I saw the headline, but when I read the stiry I realized that it wasn’t that bad. What the panel ruled was that, because of the bias expressed by some of the jurors, the death-penalty phase of the trial had to be done again with a new jury, and probably not one drawn from Boston. So he’ll get the death penalty again.
If that’s the outcome no harm will be done.
But I don’t like the sentiment at all. Nor the waste of having a do over.
