Does the capyioned phrase mean "eliminate the death penalty from the trial" ?


Judge Brinkema, who had earlier tried to strike the death penalty from the trial only to be overruled by an appeals court, was unstinting in her anger over Ms. Martin's actions. She noted that she issued an order in the trial that is typical in such cases, ordering that witnesses not be allowed to compare their testimony with others.

yes....

In this case, the judge wants to remove the possibility of the jury selecting the death penalty as a punishment.
