| As part or the capital Jury project, we surveyed Jurors who served on capital cases in Texas and returned life sentences. Quantitative and textual information from these surveys is presented and compared to data previously collected by Bowers and colleagues from jurors serving on capital cases who had returned death sentences. Our goal is to provide a detailed description of jury deliberations specifically related to future dangerousness. This description will include the factors that have directly influenced jurors' responses to the special issue regarding the threat of future violence posed by defendants. |
