Supreme Court strikes down mandatory death penalty for police murder
The U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that a state may not require the death penalty for killing a police officer. The unsigned five page decision overturns a Louisiana law used to sentence Harry Roberts for the 1974 Mardi Gras shooting of Officer Dennis McInerney. Chief Justice Burger and Justices White Blackmun and Rehnquist dissented. The ruling calls the statute cruel and unusual punishment under the U S Constitution.
