A Quote by Thurgood Marshall on belief, concern, danger, defense, failure, guilt, insanity, and punishment
[Jurors who are opposed to capital punishment are] more likely to believe that a defendant's failure to testify is indicative of his guilt, more hostile to the insanity defense, more mistrustful of defense attorneys and less concerned about the danger of erroneous convictions.
