Lam Luong And The Death Penalty

Dozens of potential jurors are let go as jury selection continues in the Bridge Tragedy trial.

Lam Luong is accused of throwing his four kids off the Dauphin Island Bridge last year. The state is going after the death penalty in this capital murder case.

On Thursday, possible jurors were questioned 1-by-1.

Some of the jurors in the pool admitted that they believe Luong should be killed even before hearing testimony. Others say the death penalty is against what they believe. Chris McLean is one of the jurors dismissed for opposing the death penalty. "I cannot vote to impose the death penalty. I don't believe in it. You know, put him in jail and make him think about it. Give him a chance to get right with God. It's not my right to give somebody death."

The state is really hoping that they can get a jury seated by the end of the week so testimony can start on Monday.
