One of the most intense group work experiences in the United States is serving on the jury of a death penalty case. This forces a group of complete strangers to come together and determine the fate of another human being's life. The State of Ohio v. Mark Ducic court case was no exception. Ducic, a 47-year-old white male drug addict, was accused of committing a double homicide. Under Ohio state law, the murder of more than one individual is considered mass murder and therefore the accused is subject to the death penalty. Ducic's victims included Barbara Davis, his partner and drug addict, as well as a drug addict Ducic was acquainted with. Davis' death was initially believed to be due to an overdose, but police informants identified Ducic's voice in a recording claiming that he was the one who killed her. The other victim, the drug addict, was allegedly eliminated by Ducic for fear that he would inform the police of Davis' murder. Investigators believed that Ducic had given both victims a fatal amount of drugs that would have made it appear as if both had simply overdosed. Ducic was found guilty on both occasions, but had to have a second trial regarding his conviction and another hearing to decide whether or not to remove the death penalty.

Who will listen to an old man? Now he will do good. He can write a book while he's there, you know. And if you were wondering whether to come back here, he doesn't even want to. No one would want to stay here for twenty-five years, unlike how things are going now.
