Yeah.

It should be rare, but never off the table at least for negotiation reasoning.

When the outcome is clear you should always have the option.

I know I'm a broken record on this. But how do you decide the outcome is "clear"? How would you write that law?

Every convicted murderer is found guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Then, if the State is seeking the death penalty, the jury gets to decide if the crime was heinous enough to warrant the death penalty.

Are you suggesting the jury decide is the defendant's guilt is "clear"? What is a level tighter than "beyond reasonable doubt"? Beyond UNreasonable doubt? Guilty, and we really, really mean it? So guilty we can't imagine any hypothetical evidence that could change our minds?
