A Buncombe County bailiff and former detective was fired June 12 after he quoted a Bible verse about the death penalty to a split jury during a first-degree murder trial in Asheville, records show. Jury officers, or bailiffs, take an oath under North Carolina law to keep jurors in a private place and prevent them from being spoken to by anyone outside the trial, including the bailiff themselves. Christopher “Matt” Plowucha, 46, was fired by Sheriff Quentin Miller the next day.
