Heading: Linda Faye Palmer

Text: 138 Hall claims that Linda Faye Palmer should have been struck for cause because she stated in her juror questionnaire, and reiterated during voir dire, that capital punishment was appropriate for intentional murder and for repeat violent criminals, that she favored more frequent executions, and that she considered the lethal injection too good/easy for people convicted of capital murder. We find this argument unpersuasive. 139 During voir dire, Palmer stated that she would be able to set aside her opinions regarding the death penalty and render a verdict based solely upon the evidence and the court's instructions. She also stated that she could give fair and honest consideration to mitigating factors in determining an appropriate sentence. The district court therefore did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Palmer possessed no biases that would substantially impair her ability to fulfill her oath as a juror and follow the court's instructions. 140
