The Supreme Court as well as others have ruled repeatedly that mandatory death sentences are unconstitutional. I could easily just vote against the death penalty in the sentencing phase, as it must be unanimous to impose it. There's also what CARL said. So the scenario could never happen.

I agree with this.  I would vote for conviction (life in prison without parole is fitting for me), but vote against use of the death penalty.
