Foes of death penalty seek ruling on juries
Washington based report notes that after the Supreme Court upheld capital punishment last July the court faces appeals asking whether conscientious objectors to the death penalty can be excluded from juries. The issue stems from a Florida Georgia and Texas practice giving juries discretion to determine if a crime warrants the death penalty. Justices Powell, Stewart and Stevens cited a 1968 decision on excluding jurors with reservations about capital punishment, arguing that without public values the punishment may not reflect evolving standards of decency. The outcome could spare some death row inmates if the court rules against exclusion.
