Prospective juror questionnaires
The questionnaires asked about prior opinions on guilt and punishment, general death-penalty attitudes, and employment circumstances. Responses included uncertainty, opposition to execution, and support for execution qualified by willingness to consider life imprisonment without release. Prospective jurors signed an affirmation that their answers were true under penalty of perjury.
