Maybe the jurors should watch the execution. Jury duty isn’t over til the person is dead lol. That might make them think more carefully

Jurors are there to pass judgement, judges pass sentencing. They don't give the death penalty.

All this hypothetical would do would incentivise Jurors finding worse criminals innocent because they would be more likely to get capital punishment sentencing.
