Mrs. Hunter was called to serve for jury duty, but asked to be excused because she didn't believe in capital punishment and didn't want her personal thoughts to prevent the trial from running its proper course. But the public defender liked her thoughtfulness and quiet calm, and tried to convince her that she was appropriate to serve on the jury.
"Madam," he explained, "this is not a murder trial! It's a simple civil lawsuit. A wife is bringing this case against her husband because he gambled away the $12,000 he had promised to use to remodel the kitchen for her birthday."
"Well, okay," agreed Mrs. Hunter, "I'll serve. I guess I could be wrong about capital punishment after all."

That was cute! A woman's got to have what a woman's got to have.
Huh, I was confused!? I miss you Nana!
hey amy, havent seen you in awhile, big hug....
hey courtney, i guess the point was that the woman didn't believe in the death penalty, unless it came to a husband who gambled away money he was going to spend on his wife...
