Click the account icon in the top right to: Oxford Academic is home to a wide variety of products. Assuming each result is within the range of discretion, all are correct in the eyes of the law. I concentrate on the decisions within the prosecutor's office through which the State decided to seek the death penalty and, in particular, the point at which the State proceeded to the penalty phase after conviction. A person convicted of murder "shall be punished by death or by imprisonment for life." If arbitrary and capricious punishment is the touchstone under the Eighth Amendment, such a claim could -- at least in theory -- be based upon any arbitrary variable, such as the defendant's facial characteristics, [n43] or the physical attractiveness of the defendant or the victim, [n44] that some statistical [p318] study indicates may be influential in jury decisionmaking. With respect to the second prong, McCleskey must prove that there is a substantial likelihood that his death sentence is due to racial factors. 30, 39th Cong., lst Sess., p. XVII (1866). 47. Nothing could convey more powerfully the intractable reality of the death penalty: that the effort to eliminate arbitrariness in the infliction of that ultimate sanction is so plainly doomed to failure that it -- and the death penalty -- must be abandoned altogether. IJs preside in formal judicial hearings and make decisions that are final, unless formally appealed. Gregg v. Georgia, supra, at 170. 9. But the nature of the capital sentencing decision, and the relationship of the statistics to that decision, are fundamentally different from the corresponding elements in the venire selection or Title VII cases. Mr. Short was appointed chief immigration judge in 2020. Rather, McCleskey argues that application of the State's statute has created a classification that is "an irrational exercise of governmental power," Brief for Petitioner 41, because it is not "necessary to the accomplishment of some permissible state objective." Since our decision upholding the Georgia capital sentencing system in Gregg, the State has executed seven persons. Because petitioner's sentence was imposed under Georgia sentencing procedures that focus discretion "on the particularized nature of the crime and the particularized characteristics of the individual defendant," it may be presumed that his death sentence was not "wantonly and freakishly" imposed, and thus that the sentence is not disproportionate within any recognized meaning under the Eighth Amendment. . 4. The underlying rationale is that. . Finally, the Court justifies its rejection of McCleskey's claim by cautioning against usurpation of the legislatures' role in devising and monitoring criminal punishment. at 92, in order to rebut that presumption. First, McCleskey's claim, taken to its logical conclusion, [p315] throws into serious question the principles that underlie our entire criminal justice system. Although McCleskey has standing to claim that he suffers discrimination because of his own race, the State argues that he has no standing to contend that he was discriminated against on the basis of his victim's race. [n22] We begin our analysis of this claim by reviewing the restrictions on death sentences established by our prior decisions under that Amendment. Exh. McCleskey next filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

(a) Petitioner cannot successfully argue that the sentence in his case is disproportionate to the sentences in other murder cases. It is also questionable whether any consistent policy can be derived by studying the decisions of prosecutors. In its broadest form, McCleskey's claim of discrimination extends to every actor in the Georgia capital sentencing process, from the prosecutor who sought the death penalty and the jury that imposed the sentence to the State itself that enacted the capital punishment statute and allows it to remain in effect despite its allegedly discriminatory application. We noted the availability of both criminal sanctions and professional ethical discipline. Again, no suggestion is made as to how greater "rationality" could be achieved under any type of statute that authorizes capital punishment. Id. For example, the authors of a study similar to that of Baldus explained: Since death penalty prosecutions require large allocations of scarce prosecutorial resources, prosecutors must choose a small number of cases to receive this expensive treatment.

In Proffitt, we found that the Florida capital sentencing procedures adequately channeled the trial judge's discretion so that the Florida system, like the Georgia system, on its face "satisfie[d] the constitutional deficiencies identified in Furman." First, the researchers assumed that all of the information available from the questionnaires was available to the juries and prosecutors when the case was tried. As Professor Baldus confirmed, the system sorts out cases where the sentence of death is highly likely and highly unlikely, leaving a mid-range of cases where the imposition of the death penalty in any particular case is less predictable. Godfrey v. Georgia, 446 U.S. 420, 442 (1980) (MARSHALL, J., concurring in judgment). . The Court of Appeals assumed the validity of the Baldus study, and found that it.
