Answer:
Prejudices are only a concern if they conflict with the case before the court. As an example a prejudice against French people would not affect a case involving a Korean and Japanese businessmen in a dispute over shares in an American company.
Most people do have prejudices against something. The jury pool would be small if only people totally without prejudice could be eligible to serve.

How does death penalty condemn the innocent to die?
The death penalty is the death penalty. It condemns no one. It is a legitimate judicial act of the State. On the other hand, juries condemn people. Juries are part of the judicial system. Juries react to evidence and lawyers' pleadings and questionings, an arguably subjective process. Innocent people die because the judicial system is not perfect and juries and district attorneys and public defenders are fallible. Whenever people are in the loop, there will be errors. On the other hand, there are some people in our society who take lives, commit unspeakable crimes, and need to be held accountable for them. It is for them that the death penalty is reserved, and for whom it is highly appropriate.
