The Supreme Court today affirms the conviction, but reverses the death penalty, in People v. Zaragoza. The unanimous opinion by Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar holds the trial court erred in the death qualification of the jury — one prospective juror was improperly excused for cause based on what the Supreme Court concludes were ambiguous jury questionnaire answers concerning whether she could vote for a death penalty verdict. The prospective juror’s “written responses did not clearly reveal personal views that would interfere with her ability to judge the penalty based on the evidence presented.”
