The first issue before the court
我的第一个问题
concerns the absence of any African American jurors.
是此法庭缺少一个名非裔陪审员
That was previously argued and ruled on, counsel.
此问题已经提过并解决了 辩护律师
Yes, before the lower courts. This bench has never considered
那是在下级法♥院♥ 本庭从未考虑
We're not persuaded that the absence of a black juror
没有非裔陪审员
is in violation of due process.
并不违反任何法律程序
What's your next issue
你还有什么疑问
I would turn the court's attention to the fact that the grand jury
我希望庭上注意 指控Borns先生的大陪审团
which indicted Mr. Borns similarily was all white.

That issue was never raised, and is therefore waived.
该问题未被提起 所以勿须讨论
Your honor, Texas law requires that the jury recommend death only in cases
法官大人 Texas法律认为 陪审团只能在认为被告可能
where they find that the defendant poses a threat of future dangerousness to society.
在未来对社会有一定威胁性时 才能建议执行死刑
We maintain this is unconstitutional.
我们认为这是违反宪法的
Juries are supposed to find elements of guilt and innocence
陪审团应该在排除合理疑问的基础上
based on facts beyond a reasonable doubt, not on the basis of perceived probabilities.

Moreover, as a practical matter,
而且 事实上
since Ezekiel Borns will remain in prison for life,
既然Ezekiel Borns将在牢中度过余生
he couldn't possibly constitute a future threat to society
他不可能对社会造成任何危害
unless the law assumes prison breaks.
除非说 法庭认为他会越狱
Well, that's an interesting issue, counsel,
这个问题很有趣 辩护律师
but that also was never raised, and therefore, it is deemed waived.
不过 这个问题也并未举证 因为也可以省略讨论
Next.
