"in 2005, three Colorado Supreme Court judges have declared Bibles as biblio non grata in United States court rooms and jury deliberation chambers. The case involved throwing out the sentence of a man who was given the death penalty after jurors consulted the Bible in reaching a verdict. The judges decided that "Jurors must deliberate in that atmosphere without the aid or distraction of extraneous texts." Merriam-Webster describes extraneous as "having no relevance." Do those three judges really believe that in deciding the fate of a man's life the Bible is irrelevant? A significant problem we face today is that many judges believe there is no higher power than themselves."
