I would suspect jurors would questioned on the death penalty issue during jury selection. That being i'm not sure how a jury could better scrutinse a case better as they convict based on evidence presented.
I agree that our justice is far from infallible and needs to be fixed. As long as there are problems you'd have a hard time convincing me that capital punishment is just and should be brought back.
