 "The Witt standard gave more discretion to the judge in death qualification.The judge decides whether the jurors’ attitudes toward the death penalty would prevent or substantially impair their ability to decide on sentence fairly.”  The Witt outcome produced a more death qualified jury.A judge now needs to decide whether a juror’s attitude toward the death penalty would alter his decision about guilt or innocence, unlike before, where the juror had to state that he would automatically vote guilty or not guilty due to his beliefs, in order to excuse him from the jury.
