The Death Penalty: Furman V. Georgia

D J Herda

The Death Penalty: Furman V. Georgia

Library Binding (Enslow Publishing Jan. 1, 2017)
The death penalty is surely one of the most highly contentious points the Supreme Court has had to weigh in on. Whether you believe in the death penalty or not, the Furman v. Georgia case was groundbreaking in its decision to stay Furmans execution because it was arbitrary and, very possibly, racially motivated. Though it did not stop capital punishment, the case changed the way states had to weigh their decisions. Also included are questions to consider, primary source documents, and a chronology of the case.
