Death Penalty: Arbitrary?
Number of pages:
3
ABSTRACT:
3 pages in length. If the death penalty was outlawed for being arbitrary based on the lack of guidelines, it does not automatically equate with current death penalty sentences as fitting the definition of arbitrary. An immediate example in defense of this position is found in the 1976 Supreme Court case of Gregg v Georgia where the Court ruled how Georgia, Texas and Florida statutes are well within the constitutional guidelines and are not "arbitrary and capricious." Bibliography lists 4 sources.
