Appellant’s contention is without merit. The prosecutor was able to observe Ms. Diemer throughout the voir dire. The prosecutor conceded that Ms. Diemer responded that she could consider either punishment. He stated that he nevertheless felt that her demeanor in response to the questions reflected that she was hesitant and uncomfortable with the idea.
