Description
Over defendants objection the solicitor was permitted to ask each prospective juror the following question: "Do you have any moral or religious scruples or beliefs against capital punishment?" Ten jurors answered no, one answered yes but said that after hearing all the evidence and listening to the case she could consider a verdict of guilty in a capital case, and one said it would depend upon the circumstances. The record shows that no juror was excused for cause by either the solicitor or defense counsel. Defendant contends the trial court erred in allowing the jurors to be questioned concerning their views on capital punishment. This constitutes defendants first assignment of error.
