How later courts describe this case
- "reviewing court should accord great deference to the trial judge's determination and should not attempt to reconstruct the voir dire by a microscopic dissection of the transcript in search of magic words or phrases that automatically signify the jurors' qualification or disqualification."
- prospective jurors who expressly agree to consider both life and death sentences and to consider any mitigating evidence are not properly excused for cause
