Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the groundbreaking Furman v. Georgia case's decision to stay Furman's 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. |
