Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : "Had the jury been presented with this information, one or more jurors may have voted to spare him from execution," attorneys led by Brad Levenson, a deputy federal public defender, said in a statement distributed by the 8th Amendment Project, a group that advocates for the end of capital punishment in the U.S.
38% : Attorneys for Zane Michael Floyd argue in documents released Tuesday that the state court jury that sentenced Floyd to death for killing four people and wounding a fifth in a 1999 shotgun attack at a Las Vegas grocery store wasn't asked to consider whether he suffered brain damage that contributed to his crime and made him ineligible for execution.
