• Did you find yourself supporting Wanda Jean’s execution, or hoping that his life would be spared?

• We are not told of alternatives to the death penalty in Oklahoma, but if you knew that the alternative punishment was life imprisonment with no possibility of parole, would you support the death penalty for Wanda Jean or the alternative? Why?

• Do you believe victims’ families should have a role or a voice in determining the sentence in a capital case? Should they have a role in the clemency process? Why or why not?
