经过特斯法耶·内格西和比尔·哈钦森佩顿·詹德龙可能成为联邦审判的陪审员，他因在一次谋杀中杀害10名黑人而被判无期徒刑，目前正在州立监狱服刑2022种族动机攻击周二，在纽约布法罗的一家超市，律师正在询问他们对死刑的看法。
23岁的詹德龙被指控27项罪名联邦起诉书这包括10起导致死亡的仇恨犯罪。
在司法部拒绝了他的认罪以换取他们不寻求死刑的提议后，他对这些指控表示不服罪。
这执行死刑的决定由司法部于2024年1月在拜登政府下做出，当时梅里克·加兰担任美国司法部长。
“我们承认，我们的客户佩顿·詹德龙在Tops杂货店造成了巨大的损失和痛苦，夺走了10条生命，严重伤害了3人，并使更多人受到创伤，”詹德龙的律师在给美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说。
2023年2月，Gendron对国家指控认罪，包括10项谋杀罪，3项谋杀未遂罪和由仇恨引发的国内恐怖主义。男性被判刑了伊利县法院法官判他终身监禁，不得假释，外加90年监禁，他说他应该得到“宽恕”
在本周的声明中，詹德龙的律师说，“没有什么能改变佩顿·詹德龙会死在监狱里的事实。”
“在审判中，我们将提供减轻处罚的证据，陪审团在做出决定时需要考虑这些证据。我们说的或做的都不是对受害者、幸存者或他们所爱的人的不尊重或麻木不仁，”辩护律师说。
詹德龙的律师没有详细说明他们的减轻证据将是什么。
据美国广播公司布法罗站报道，周二早上，詹德龙穿着一件领口扣着的蓝色polo衫，戴着黑框眼镜出现在布法罗的美国地方法院WKBW。当潜在陪审员进入法庭时，詹德龙站在他的律师旁边。
法官劳伦斯·j·维拉多（Lawrence J． Vilardo）向未来的陪审员发表演讲时，詹德龙没有戴手铐，坐在被告席上。
“陪审团的选择过程将需要几个星期，”维拉多在法庭上说。
法官说，将选出12名陪审员和6名候补陪审员来审理此案。
随着候选人在周二开始接受质询，挑选陪审团的难度立即显现出来。
很抱歉，这段文本暂时无法提供译文
“我在精神上无法接受，”这位女士说。
在被问及他对死刑的看法时，另一位陪审团候选人回答说：“我认为它应该存在于法律书籍中，但应该根据具体情况而定。如果你准备夺取一条生命，代价可能是失去你的生命。”
如果陪审团认定詹德龙有罪，审判将进入死刑阶段。
审判的证据部分暂定于12月开始，维拉多说，陪审员应该预计在2027年2月底之前可以参加法庭诉讼。
维拉多指示潜在的陪审员不要互相谈论或与任何人谈论此案。
他提醒陪审团候选人，他们会被问到关于死刑的问题。
“被告被指控．．．十项仇恨犯罪导致死亡，十项使用枪支谋杀。这些罪名可能被判死刑，被认为是死罪．．．，”维拉多说。
在袭击中丧生的受害者年龄从32岁到86岁不等。维拉多在法庭上宣读了他们的名字：塞莱斯汀·邱晨、杰拉尔丁·塔利、凯瑟琳·梅西、珀尔·杨、安德烈·麦克尼尔、海沃德·帕特森、露丝·怀特菲尔德、罗伯塔·德鲁里、玛格斯·莫里森和亚伦·索尔特。
索尔特是一名退休的布法罗警察，在商店做保安工作在对抗詹德隆时被杀当他穿着战术装备挥舞着AR-15步枪冲进超市时。
维拉多通知潜在的陪审团，詹德龙已经对国家指控认罪，并被判处终身监禁，不得假释。
如果詹德龙被判至少一项死刑，陪审团将不得不一致决定判处死刑。
“如果一个或多个陪审员发现终身监禁是一个合适的判决，我将被要求判处终身监禁，”维拉多说。
法官告诉陪审团候选人，审判“不是种族公投。”
六月，大约1200名潜在陪审员填写了初始调查问卷的人被传唤出庭，完成更广泛的调查，以确定他们是否能够担任公平公正的陪审员。
Potential jurors in Buffalo mass shooter＇s federal trial face death penalty questions
Potential jurors in the federal trial of Payton Gendron， who is already serving a life sentence in state prison for killing 10 Black people in a2022 racially motivated attackat a Buffalo， New York， supermarket， are being questioned by attorneys on Tuesday about their opinions on the death penalty．
Gendron， 23， is charged in a 27-countfederal indictmentthat includes 10 counts of hate crimes resulting in death．
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges after the Department of Justice rejected his proposal to plead guilty in exchange for them not seeking the death penalty．
Thedecision to pursue the death penaltywas made by the Department of Justice in January 2024 under the Biden administration while Merrick Garland was serving as the U．S． attorney general．
＂We acknowledge that our client， Payton Gendron， caused tremendous loss and suffering at the Tops grocery store by taking ten lives， seriously injuring three others， and traumatizing many more，＂ Gendron＇s attorneys said in a statement to ABC News．
The attorneys noted that Gendron was just 18 years old when he was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the May 14， 2022， massacre at a Tops supermarket on Buffalo＇s east side， which he livestreamed on the internet．
Before the attack， Gendron also posted a racist screed online containing the names of past mass shooters he admired．
Gendron pleaded guilty to state charges， including 10 counts of murder， 3 counts of attempted murder， and domestic terrorism motivated by hate， in February 2023． Hewas sentencedto life in prison without the possibility of parole， plus 90 years， by an Erie County Court judge who said he deserved ＂no mercy．＂
During his state sentencing hearing， Gendron made a statement in court， saying， ＂I did a terrible thing that day． I shot and killed people because they were Black． Looking back now， I can’t believe I actually did it． I believed what I read online and acted out of hate． I know I can’t take it back， but I wish I could， and I don’t want anyone to be inspired by me and what I did．＂
In their statement this week， Gendron＇s attorneys said， ＂Nothing will change the fact that Payton Gendron will die in prison．＂
＂At trial， we will offer mitigating evidence about Payton that the jury needs to consider in making its decision． Nothing we say or do is intended to be disrespectful or insensitive to the victims， the survivors， or their loved ones，＂ the defense attorneys said．
Gendron＇s lawyers did not elaborate on what their mitigating evidence will be．
On Tuesday morning， Gendron appeared in U．S． District Court in Buffalo wearing a blue polo shirt buttoned at the neck and black-framed glasses， according to ABC Buffalo stationWKBW． Flanked by his attorneys， Gendron stood as potential jurors entered the courtroom．
Gendron sat unshackled at the defense table as Judge Lawrence J． Vilardo addressed the pool of would-be jurors．
＂Jury selection process will take several weeks，＂ Vilardo said in court．
The judge said 12 jurors and six alternates will be selected to hear the case．
The difficulty of selecting a jury was immediately evident as candidates began being questioned on Tuesday．
One potential juror told the court she took issue with having to sit through graphic evidence expected to be presented at the trial， including the livestream video Gendron took of the massacre．
＂I mentally cannot handle that，＂ the woman said．
While being questioned about his views on the death penalty， another jury candidate answered， ＂I believe it should exist in the law books， but should be on a case-by-case basis． If you＇re prepared to take a life， the penalty for that may be losing yours．＂
If the jury finds Gendron guilty of the charges， the trial will proceed to the death penalty phase．
The evidence portion of the trial is tentatively scheduled to begin in December， and Vilardo said jurors should expect to be available for the court proceeding through the end of February 2027．
Vilardo instructed the potential jurors not to speak with each other or anyone else about the case．
He cautioned the jury candidates that they will be asked about the death penalty．
＂The defendant is charged．．．with ten counts of committing a hate crime resulting in death， ten counts of using a firearm to commit murder． These counts carry the potential sentence of death， considered a capital offense．．．，＂ Vilardo said．
The victims killed in the attack ranged in age from 32 to 86． Vilardo read their names in court： Celestine Chaney， Geraldine Talley， Katherine Massey， Pearl Young， Andre Mackniel， Heyward Patterson， Ruth Whitfield， Roberta Drury， Margus Morrison， and Aaron Salter．
Salter， a retired Buffalo police officer， was working security at the store and waskilled while confronting Gendronas he stormed the supermarket wearing tactical gear and wielding an AR-15-style rifle．
Vilardo notified the potential jury that Gendron had already pleaded guilty to state charges and was sentenced to life in prison without parole．
If Gendron is convicted of at least one of the capital murder charges， the jury will have to reach a unanimous decision to impose the death penalty．
＂If one or more jurors find life in prison is an appropriate sentence， I will be required to impose life in prison，＂ Vilardo said．
The judge told the jury candidates that the trial ＂is not a referendum on race．＂
In June，about 1，200 potential jurorswho filled out an initial questionnaire were summoned to appear in court to complete a more extensive inquiry to determine whether they can serve as fair and impartial jurors．
