Thus, the fact that McCleskey presents a viable equal protection claim does not require that he demonstrate intentional racial discrimination to establish his Eighth Amendment claim. POWELL, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which REHNQUIST, C.J., and WHITE, O'CONNOR, and SCALIA, JJ., joined. Such decisions involve a multitude of factors, some rational, some irrational. If there's room for the exercise of discretion, then the [racial] factors begin to play a role. But as a matter of practice, penalty hearings seem to be held only if the prosecutor affirmatively seeks the death penalty.

His views, that also are shared by JUSTICE MARSHALL, are principled, and entitled to respect. Exh.) The decisions of a jury commission or of an employer over time are fairly attributable to the commission or the employer. Wally McCleskey, American actor, known for Heaven's Gate (1980), New York, New York (1977) and The White Shadow (1978) Thomas Joseph McCleskey Jr. (b. If capital defendants are to be treated as "uniquely individual human beings," Woodson v. North Carolina, supra, at 304, then discretion to evaluate and weigh the circumstances relevant to the particular defendant and the crime he committed is essential. That they are not so clear in a small percentage of the cases is no reason to declare the entire system unconstitutional. [n15][p296], Another important difference between the cases in which we have accepted statistics as proof of discriminatory intent and this case is that, in the venire-selection and Title VII contexts, the decisionmaker has an opportunity to explain the statistical disparity. McCleskey secured the front of the store by rounding up the customers and forcing them to lie face down on the floor. the jury does not often consciously and explicitly yield to sentiment in the teeth of the law . The Georgia Code has been revised and renumbered since McCleskey's trial. III, 4714, 4718. The guidelines, like the safeguards in the Gregg-type statute, further an essential need of the Anglo-American criminal justice system -- to balance the desirability of a high degree of uniformity against the necessity for the exercise of discretion. In deciding if the defendant has carried his burden of persuasion, a court must undertake "a sensitive inquiry into such circumstantial and direct evidence of intent as may be available." . If you believe you should have access to that content, please contact your librarian. What we have held to be unconstitutional if included in the [p356] language of the statute surely cannot be constitutional, because it is a de facto characteristic of the system. H. Kalven & H. Zeisel, The American Jury 498 (1966). [n17]See Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 425-426 (1976). See id. Although the evidence presented by LDF gave the Court the opportunity to acknowledge and renounce the arbitrary influence of race on the administration of the death penalty, the Court found no constitutional error in a system where African-Americans and whites were treated unequally. v. STATE OF TEXAS; CARLOS CASCOS, Texas Secretary of State; STEVE MCCRAW, in his Official Capacity as Director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Defendants - Appellants . Pp. His findings indicated that racial bias permeated the Georgia capital punishment system. Failure to conduct such an individualized moral inquiry. [n36] As this Court has recognized, any mode for determining guilt or punishment "has its weaknesses and the potential for misuse." We noted that any punishment might be unconstitutionally severe if inflicted without penological justification, but concluded: [p302]. 476 U.S. at 92. While sufficient provocation could reduce a charge of murder to manslaughter, the code provided that. Loi is extremely hardworking and dedicated, and volunteers to take on additional and more challenging work on a regular basis. You do not currently have access to this chapter. 50. Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment forbidden by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, I would vacate the decision below insofar as it left undisturbed the death sentence imposed in this case. at 372 (emphasis omitted). [n37][p314]. 5. Rather, the fact that the United States Constitution and the laws of Georgia authorized the prosecutor to seek the death penalty under the circumstances of this case is a relevant factor to be weighed in determining whether the Baldus study demonstrates a constitutionally significant risk that this decision was motivated by racial considerations. Woodson, 428 U.S. at 305. Supp. While these concerns underscore the need for sober deliberation, they do not justify rejecting evidence as convincing as McCleskey has presented. Accordingly, those issues are before us. A capital sentencing system in which race more likely than not plays a role does not meet this standard. Ibid. 47. 424 U.S. at 425. Maxwell v. Bishop, 398 F.2d 138 (CA8), vacated and remanded, sua sponte, on grounds not raised below, 398 U.S. 262 (1970) (per curiam). Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986); Swain v.

Capital punishment is now the law in more than two-thirds of our States. [W]hen the cases become tremendously aggravated, so that everybody would agree that, if we're going to have a death sentence, these are the cases that should get it, the race effects go away. H.R. McCleskey v. Kemp was a historic case in Georgia that showed how racial discrimination perpetuates unfair sentences for black defendants. 905. "[C]ontrolling considerations of . See 580 F.Supp. Pulley v. Harris, supra, at 50-51. showed that systemic and substantial disparities existed in the penalties imposed upon homicide defendants in Georgia based on race of the homicide victim, that the disparities existed at a less substantial rate in death sentencing based on race of defendants, and that the factors of race of the victim and defendant were at work in Fulton County. 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. mitsubishi redlink thermostat manual. Moreover, the establishment of guidelines for Assistant District Attorneys as to the appropriate basis for exercising their discretion at the various steps in the prosecution of a case would provide at least a measure of consistency. In a 5-4 decision authored by Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., the Court ruled against McCleskey and found that unless he could submit evidence showing that a specific person in his case acted with a racially discriminatory purpose, McCleskeys death sentence and the stark racial disparities in Georgias capital punishment system would stand. denied, 459 U.S. 882 (1982); Spinkellink v. Wainwright, 578 F.2d 582, 612-616 (CA5 1978), cert. recommends the death sentence in its verdict, the court shall not sentence the defendant to death." So it never got any further than just talking about it. These have been honorable steps, but we cannot pretend that, in three decades, we have completely escaped the grip of a historical legacy spanning centuries. 47 (1985); Johnson, supra, at 1638, n. 128 (citing Shoemaker, South, & Lowe, Facial Stereotypes of Deviants and Judgments of Guilt or Innocence, 51 Social Forces 427 (1973)).

Since decisions whether to prosecute and what to charge necessarily are individualized, and involve infinite factual variations, coordination among district attorney offices across a State would be relatively meaningless. , who examined over 2,000 Georgia murder cases. If Georgia were to narrow the class of death-eligible defendants to those categories, the danger of arbitrary and discriminatory imposition of the death penalty would be significantly decreased, if not eradicated. Decisions since Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, have identified a constitutionally permissible range of discretion in imposing the death penalty. . The statute narrows the class of murders subject to the death penalty to cases in which the jury finds at least one statutory aggravating circumstance beyond a reasonable doubt. This historical review of Georgia criminal law is not intended as a bill of indictment calling the State to account for past transgressions. Conversely, it allows the defendant to introduce any relevant mitigating evidence that might influence the jury not to impose a death sentence. Under this model, Baldus found that 14.4% of the black-victim mid-range cases received the death penalty, and 34.4% of the white-victim cases received the death penalty. IJs are employed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and preside over special classes of administrative adjudication proceedings pertaining to immigration matters, including removal . at 25. Having recognized the complexity of McCleskey's claim, however, the Court proceeds to ignore a significant element of that claim. McCleskey argues that the sentence in his case is disproportionate to the sentences in other murder cases. Deposition of Russell Parker, Feb. 16, 1981, p. 17. 341 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<16855F6BE722C0468FE731A2E2AD9B6A>]/Index[324 32]/Info 323 0 R/Length 87/Prev 183310/Root 325 0 R/Size 356/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream r/baseball. at 195, n. 46 (emphasis added) (joint opinion of Stewart, POWELL, and STEVENS, JJ.). Furthermore, whether a State has chosen an effective combination of guidance and discretion in its capital sentencing system as a whole cannot be established in the abstract, as the Court insists on doing, but must be determined empirically, as the Baldus study has done. Supp.Exh. Castaneda v. Partida, 430 U.S. 482, 493-494 (1977). Thus, our constitutional decisions have been informed by "contemporary values concerning the infliction of a challenged sanction," Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. at 173. In his dissenting opinion, JUSTICE BRENNAN demonstrates that the Eighth Amendment analysis is well-suited to address that aspect of the case. Once we can identify a pattern of arbitrary sentencing outcomes, we can say that a defendant runs a risk of being sentenced arbitrarily. The Court concludes that "legitimate" explanations outweigh McCleskey's claim that his death sentence reflected a constitutionally impermissible risk of racial discrimination. 56, 57, Tr. Such analysis is designed precisely to identify patterns in the aggregate, even though we may not be able to reconstitute with certainty any individual decision that goes to make up that pattern. Certainly, a factor that we would regard as morally irrelevant, such as hair color, at least theoretically could be associated with sentencing results to such an extent that we would regard as arbitrary a system in which that factor played a significant role. 17-10-30(b)(7) (1982), which is reprinted in n. 3, supra. The procedures also require a particularized inquiry into "the circumstances of the offense, together with the character and propensities of the offender.'" . Unlike the evidence presented by Maxwell, which did not contain data from the jurisdiction in which he was tried and sentenced, McCleskey's evidence includes data from the relevant jurisdiction. The Court correctly points out: In its broadest form, McCleskey's claim of discrimination extends to every actor in the Georgia capital sentencing process, from the prosecutor who [p350] 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. . There appears to be no reason why a white defendant in such a city could not make a claim similar to McCleskey's if racial disparities in sentencing arguably are shown by a statistical study. If sufficient evidence to link a suspect to a crime cannot be found, he will not be charged. Singer v. United States, supra, at 35. Furthermore, conviction for willful murder of a slave was subject to the difficult requirement of the oath of two white witnesses. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 449 (1962). If a grant of relief to him were to lead to a closer examination of the effects of racial considerations throughout the criminal justice system, the system, and hence society, might benefit. It assumed the validity of the Baldus study, but found the statistics insufficient to demonstrate unconstitutional discrimination in the Fourteenth Amendment context or to show irrationality, arbitrariness, and capriciousness under Eighth Amendment analysis. Pursuant to Georgia statutes, the jury at the penalty hearing considered the mitigating and aggravating circumstances of petitioner's conduct, and recommended the death penalty on the murder charge. Although I would agree that evidence of "official actions taken long ago" could not alone establish that the current system is applied in an unconstitutionally discriminatory manner, I disagree with the Court's statement that such evidence is now irrelevant. African-Americans are stopped, ticketed, searched and/or arrested by the police at far higher rates than whites. respect for humanity underlying the Eighth Amendment requires consideration of the character and record of the individual offender and the circumstances of the particular offense as a constitutionally indispensable part of the process of inflicting the penalty of death. Legal mobilizations such as the War on Drugs increased racial inequalities by enforcing harsher sentences for drugs whose impacts are disproportionately felt in communities of color. one by one, demonstrating that, in life sentence cases, to the extent that any aggravating circumstance is more prevalent in one group than the other, there are more aggravating features in the group of white-victim cases than in the group of black-victim cases. According to the Court, this is because jurors cannot be called to testify about their verdict, and because [p363] policy considerations render it improper to require "prosecutors to defend their decisions to seek death penalties, often years after they were made.'" Lockett v. Ohio, 438 U.S. at 604 (plurality opinion of Burger, C.J.) [i]t is of vital importance to the defendant and to the community that any decision to impose the death sentence be, and appear to be, based on reason rather than caprice or emotion. In his view, the "basic concept underlying the Eighth Amendment" in this area is that the penalty must accord with "the dignity of man." See ante at 284, n. 2. A mere three generations ago, this Court sanctioned racial segregation, stating that "[i]f one race be inferior to the other socially, the Constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane." A graduate of the University of Michigan Law School, she is a past president of the National Association of Women Judges (NAWJ), is a past secretary/treasurer of the National Association of Immigration Judges, currently chairs the Immigration Committees of NCALJ and NAWJ . 10. The marginal disparity based on the race of the victim tends to support the state's contention that the system is working far differently from the one which Furman [v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972)] condemned. Supp. at 560 (Harlan, J., dissenting), and the way in which we choose those who will die reveals the depth of moral commitment among the living.

In light of the gravity of the interest at stake, petitioner's statistics, on their face, are a powerful demonstration of the type of risk that our Eighth Amendment jurisprudence has consistently condemned. was committed while the offender was engaged in the commission of another capital felony or aggravated battery, or the offense of murder was committed while the offender was engaged in the commission of burglary or arson in the first degree; (3) The offender, by his act of murder . Recognition of this fact would necessarily influence the evaluation of data suggesting the influence of hair color on sentencing, and would require evidence of statistical correlation even more powerful than that presented by the Baldus study. Eventually, the Sixth Amendment issue went to the U.S. Supreme Court. . I believe a white man has never been hung for murder in Texas, although it is the law"). 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. 1 Close When McCleskey was nine years old attending his segregated school in Cobb County, the U.S. Supreme Court evaluated the yellow-ticket practice in a capital case involving Amos Reece. In 2013, the judge warned against "ill-informed" interference in the process of law after after some figures in the DUP had criticised how unionists and nationalists were treated under the law. Although that reasoning may be relevant in a case involving a facial challenge to the constitutionality of a statute, it has no relevance in a case dealing with a challenge to the Georgia capital sentencing system as applied in McCleskey's case. at 100. Ante at 313. The Court's position converts a rebuttable presumption into a virtually conclusive one. ), we recognized that the national "majority". Under the statutes at issue in Furman, there was no basis for determining in any particular case whether the penalty was proportionate to the crime: [T]he death penalty [was] exacted with great infrequency even for the most atrocious crimes, and . In this respect, the State cannot channel the sentencer's discretion, but must allow it to consider any relevant information offered by the defendant. 17-10-31 (1982). In addition, it reflects the fact that concern for arbitrariness focuses on the rationality of the system as a whole, and that a system that features a significant probability that sentencing decisions are influenced by impermissible considerations cannot be regarded as rational. Save Settings. JUSTICE BRENNAN's condemnation of the results of the Georgia capital punishment system must be viewed against this background. 7 McCleskey, 481 U.S. at 308. The fact that "[c]apital punishment is now the law in more than two thirds of our States," ante at 319, however, does not diminish the fact that capital punishment is the most awesome act that a State can perform. Accordingly, the court denied the petition insofar as it was based upon the Baldus study. Our assumption that the Baldus study is statistically valid does not include the assumption that the study shows that racial considerations actually enter into any sentencing decisions in Georgia. [n1] At the penalty hearing, [n2] the jury heard arguments as to the appropriate sentence. For this reason, we have demanded a uniquely high degree of rationality in imposing the death penalty. Bernard McCloskey QC was appointed a high court judge in 2008.
