A quick definition of life-qualified jury:

A life-qualified jury is a group of people chosen by the law to decide if someone is guilty or not guilty in a serious crime case. They are called "life-qualified" because they are willing and able to consider giving a sentence of life in prison instead of the death penalty. This type of jury is used in cases where the death penalty is a possible punishment.

A more thorough explanation:

A life-qualified jury is a group of people selected according to the law and given the power to decide questions of fact and return a verdict in a case submitted to them. In criminal cases involving the death penalty, a life-qualified jury is selected from a venire from which the judge has excluded anyone unable or unwilling to consider a sentence of life imprisonment instead of the death penalty if the defendant is found guilty.

For example, in a murder trial where the death penalty is a possible sentence, the judge may exclude potential jurors who are morally opposed to the death penalty. This ensures that the jury is made up of people who are willing to consider both life imprisonment and the death penalty as possible sentences.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.

Yeah, my life really does flow in about 5 years periods.
