Question
I might be on the jury in the penalty phase of a capital murder case. I could be one of the people tasked with making the decision whether the defendant who has already been convicted of first degree murder will get life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Does Halacha permit me to vote in favor of the death penalty?

Question
Is crashing a wedding forbidden? An acquaintance in my community is getting married? Many people I know are invited, but I am not. I guess they don’t consider me an important enough friend.
